Hey y’all. Recently got a 12900k and was just wondering how important it is to upgrade my AIO to something bigger. Just trying to avoid “cooking it” overnight.

It will thermal throttle in all-core benchmarks, but gaming will be fine

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.
