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.

Disabling hyperthreading basically limits heavy multithreaded performance by about 20%, thus reducing power consumption and heat production.
What are these “other tweaks” you’re talking about? Whenever I see someone disable Hyperthreading as a cure for a crashing problem, I wonder where they’re getting that particular idea from.
I know there are things that can help latency etc for audio, but many of those guides / practices / tweaks are based on old technology and old conventional wisdom that may not apply to modern CPUs. If you see a clear and noticeable difference between having these tweaks and NOT having them on your current specific hardware, then by all means stick with them, but if it’s just placebo or “this is what I’ve always done” then I would first see what it’s like without them… and then take the time to see which tweaks are actually doing something useful.
