Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

if it's a 13th gen a 13900 if possible, simulation games like that require a lot of processing power when stuff gets crazy the more you add (especially The Sims).
If it's a 14th gen, a 14700 will do you enough.
Make sure that the GPU also has enough VRAM or you're gonna be bottlenecking your processor.
How much VRAM do you recommend?
If it's soldered to the board, as much as you can afford
