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.

heck im still on a 8700k oc'ed, upgrading would be epic but as far as gaming goes, i only really play lol, ow2 and the occassional singleplayer tomb raider - rig still does the job to this day
8086k meme cpu gang rise up!
I'm here brother
Brother! I'm still on the 8700. Stuck a 3080Ti in when my 1080 died of old age. Still runs everything I throw at it just fine. Even 4K games are perfectly playable. 60fps is enough. :)
I'm on the 8600k bandwagon and I was lucky I upgraded my 1060 6G version to a 3070 just before the price hike. Still rocking it till this day with nice 1440p graphics.
Only reason I upgraded from a 8700k was cause I wanted to get rid of frame drops in big teamfight in ow2 so I could stay above 240 at all times but other wise was still happy with it when I upgraded to a 13700k
An 8700k at 5GHz is the virtually the same as a 10600k. The difference is so small you would never notice without acculturate benchmarks.
My 5720K still works fine, atm om just trying to see how long until it gives up 😂
