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.

I'd go for the 13700K bundle between these two.
I have the Asus Prime Z790-A paired with a 13700K, and it's a solid board. Worked right out of the box with only minor tweaking in the BIOS to get the CPU running at a decent undervolt (although I had also installed a contact frame). For a gaming-oriented build, it's been working great.
The Prime-P in this bundle looks like it has a slightly weaker VRM, but I wouldn't expect it to struggle with handling a 13700K.
You will want to make sure you take a look at the default voltage settings in the BIOS and adjust as necessary. Asus' quality is fine from what I've experienced, but they have been known to pump up voltages for these CPUs.
Have you had any issues with USB disconnects or the ethernet dropping out or anything like that?
None that I can speak of from personal experience. The PC has been in pretty much daily use for a few months now without Ethernet dropping or any of the USB devices disconnecting (mouse, microphone, keyboard, printer, portable drive).
Ok, mightve been an isolated issue then, no one else in this thread mentioned anything either. I just brought it up since i had some people in other threads mention it to me and a lot of reviews on newegg seemed to mention significant problems.
I think internet issues were fixed long time back as there was an issue with Intel ethernet getting disconnected, the newer drivers have definitely fixed them as I have seen no new reports of issues anywhere online, I myself pulled a trigger and purchased an 14700KF build today along with Asus ROG Z790-H wifi, Gskill 7200 CL34 32gb kit and 990 pro 2TB which I got for a great deal, even though prices where I live is much higher than US I can say it was worth the route I took to build, I also explored the option of AMD as the 7800X3D cost just $10 more than 14700KF but the motherboard for AM5 are just ridiculously high where I live and even the B650 E-F costs more and I thought it wasn't worth the price I would spend overall even though I would have loved the AMD build personally.
Yeah my thing with microcenter's 7800x3d bundle is the parts seem to have so many QC issues i don't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole.
