For gaming and light single threaded workloads, a good air cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit would be enough, similar performance to the Noctua NH-D15 for a third of the cost. If you’re doing more intensive stuff like rendering I’d go with a 280 or 360mm AIO. EK 280 DRGB, Deepcool LS/LT720 or the Arctic Liquid freezer series are all good.

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.
