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.

i5 13600k clocks going down at times (alien.top)

I have this CPU on an Asrock B760m Steel Legend at stock clocks. Power limits are 125/150w.

Yesterday when I was playing Starfield, I was using hwinfo to do some logging in the background. After the end of my session, I saw that my max temps across the p-cores were around 80-85C but the average temps were around 62-65C. I checked the log.csv file and those max temps were splitsecond spikes, and not constant.

Thing is, my p-core2 was marked as "throttled" but weirdly not when my temps were 85C but when my temps were much much lower. These two instances are far apart.

Also, I noticed my clock speeds have dropped to 4.5-4.6ghz a few times during the session and none of them have been marked as "throttled".

Is it normal for the clock speeds to drop at times? This is the first time I have checked the clock speeds in the log, so I am not sure if this is normal or not.
