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.

I don't know which to get. I currently have a i5-9600k, but it's ready for an upgrade. And there are a couple of deals.

I7 13700: 389 euro I7 14700KF: 429 euro I7 14700K: 469 euro(419 euro deal is unfortunately sold out)

I'm leaning towards the KF, but don't know if it's worth it. Hope to get some advice! Thanks.

I'd start by Googling e.g. "14700K recommended coolers".

https://tech4gamers.com/best-cpu-cooler-for-i7-14700k/ looks plausible.

https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=cpucooler&xf=16454_253~817_all1700 shows all coolers for Socket 1700 that are explicitly specified to meet or exceed its 253W TDP. You might also consider a slightly more relaxed 250W search: https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=cpucooler&xf=16454_250~817_all1700

If you prefer a watercooling kit: https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=coolwsets&xf=4666_all1700

I've never used watercooling (I fundamentally dislike the idea of water sloshing around inside my computer, plus the failure modes seem a bit less predictable and more sudden and total), but the tech4gamers article suggests that a >360mm radiator might be appropriate for these CPUs.

Yes. Again, thanks for your help and sorry for asking so much. Atleast I know what to do now.
