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.

money is not an issue
never will use it for gaming, just excel and opening 200+ tabs on chrome.
worried if I get the i9, the arctic freezer II 360 aio, plus four additional 140mm fans won't be able to cool the 14900. I want idle speeds to be under 40c and never go above 60c when using it.
I understand that I don't even need an i7 or i9, I do it because I wanna have to PC for the next ten years and have no problems and because I can. "Futureproofing for these basic functions"
will I notice any differences between the 14900 and 14700 when opening chrome? Will have 64gb of ram.

OP: any of those processors would exceed your needs, however, the most important part here isn't the CPU. It's the RAM. If having a ton of things open simultaneously is your goal, I would aim to have 32gb or even 64gb if you want to truly futureproof it. (I only even say 64gb, as the prices have gotten decent and if you can.. why not)

But either the i7 or i9 14 Gen will suffice for your needs. For a long time...

Just get some quality SSDs and remember to back them up as well.
