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.

What’s important to know my friend is that XMP IS overclocking, not stock, and is generally a fairly user friendly one, provided you’re not filling all of your slots. As far as 7200mhz as a minimum, that would depend on what your memory is rated for, if it said 6400 on the box, then getting it to 7200 or beyond without a lot of knowledge of how to tweak those sorts of things will likely be a huge bag of hurt to your sanity and computer’s stability.
