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.

My 8700K (with a 1080 at the time) was already struggling to hold 60 FPS in Black Ops Cold War at 1440p medium to low settings.
Unless you’re on a tight budget you should get a more modern CPU and absolutely do not buy an 8700 new, my K version new goes for the same price as a 12th gen that would kick its ass, the prices for older gens don’t seem to be adjusting as newer models come out
that’s completely untrue. i had an 8700k / 3070 and was getting 100+ on 1440p high
