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.

MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi has an I226-V ethernet controller which likes to drop connection at random times and this issue did not have any workarounds the last time I checked (about 2-3 months ago). So be prepared to buy another ethernet controller. Just google "I226-V issues".
Unfortunately G.Skill memory sticks have issues with thermal pads. Not only do they not cover the power components on the PCB but some sticks have thernal pads that do not even contact some of the memory chips. Which results in these chips overheating during stress and eventual app/system crash. You can read about this here:

Does that problem with motherboard persist on updated Tomahawk MAX WiFi? Also regarding a memory, that's goes for all z5 or there were revisions where it was fixed? I just recently bought z5 6600 cl32, wasn't able to find info about that problem in any of the reviews and that sucks - at least I could return them if I get any problems.
Well it seems that the MSI has used I225-V for the MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WiFi.

But I225-V is not problem-free either.

However for PRO Z790-A (MAX) which also uses I225-V there seems to be a workaround (in OP post & at the bottom):

But this workaround may not work for everyone.
No idea. I've just seen reports about RIPJAWS S5 having thermal pads not contacting some memory chips. And also some posts here on reddit about Z5 high temps under stress (70-80C which is still within spec though).
