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.

I got a 13700k 3 month ago. I had to buy a cheap board which was whitin my budget. I got a gigabyte b660 da3h which has some good features but not enough board for this cpu. Vrm temsp were going as high as 107 degrees Celsius and starting to struggle. I added a heatsink myself which helped but it is not just matter of vrm. For this cpu you need overall good power delivery which can hadnle such cpu without holding it back. Even if you say you won't overclock get a decent board of z series. Or good b760 at least.
