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.

Mobos are just feature sets and nothing else. Buy the cheapest mobo that has all the features you want and supports the memory speed you want. There is 0 benefit to overspending on a mobo if you don’t need the extra features
Z790 chipset a must for intel 14700 cpu?
They all have Wifi 6-7 and I dont need Wifi on a desktop computer at all.
so all i want is DDR5 7200. i have been using a 10gbe intel NIC for years so onboard wifi is worthless to me. i won’t overclock a 14th gen and will set the PL1/PL2 to intel spec, possibly even undervolt. what mobo out there should i be looking at?
If you want to undervolt then you need a z790 chipset. It’s the only one that lets you mess around with voltage
