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.

The 14700K and KF are a very recent refresh of the 13700K.
They should be priced similarly, and they should perform a little better in productivity applications, and have some extra features (e.g. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000095419/processors.html). Unless you can find a very good price for the 13700K, pick a 14700K or KF.
The 14700K includes a built-in GPU which the KF does not. Some streaming applications may use it to encode your stream, and it may help in some other applications (e.g. Corel Painter) if you use those. It may also come in handy if you have a discrete GPU, but it fails, and you need something whilst it's being repaired or replaced.
The 14700K is not really a refresh of the 13700K, it has an additional 4 E-Cores, it really is the only improved CPU among the K SKUs on the 14th gen.
So if OP uses multi-threaded applications a lot, the additional E-Cores on the 14700K might be worth the difference in costs. In gaming, besides the 2 APO games, 13700K and 14700K perform more or less the same, the difference can be gained by slightly oc'ing the 13700K.
