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.

You can expect something like 2.2-4.5c improvement (Hardware Canucks with a Noctua NH-D15), so it's kind of worth a $10 frame, but at the same time you can live fine without it. Some of the frames are also way overpriced, just get a cheap one.
For those wondering, it does absolutely nothing for AM5. It's the rectangular Intels getting bent into a slightly concave shape.
