In March 2023 I set up my own system using a Ryzen 7700 (non-X) and tested it with Cinebench 23. It was a multicore benchmark on stock air. For Christmas 2023 I received an IBuyPower system with a 13700KF and ran it in Cinebench 2024. The multicore test showed high core temperatures, reaching 100°C, and the liquid cooling package helped keep things manageable. Thermal throttling occurred, and the hardware info reported a positive sign but I wasn't sure what it meant. Single-core performance was solid at around 35°C, though idling in Windows can be warmer. I thought I'd share these findings.

I believe the Ryzen 7 7700 thermal profiles are manageable with a good cooler. Regarding Intel, I have limited knowledge of the 14th generation. What I recall is they tend to get warm. Also, could you clarify what kind of cooler you're referring to in the iBUYProblems prebuild?

Key point to keep in mind is the real power consumption of each model. The 7700 non-X operates around 65W, while the 13700KF will exceed 250W. This explains the significant temperature difference—when they share the same power budget and cooler, temperatures would be closer. Intel processors generally manage heat well, so drawing about 30W in a single-core test is essentially idle.

It's an AIO, that's all. Much quieter than my Wraith, though I'm not sure which fan model makes how much noise. I have two big front intakes and don't even know how many are at the bottom (fractal torrent). I clean it every two weeks, so you'd think I was tracking the fans—3 or 2 in total, GPU, CPU, PSU, and a bunch of fans. I suspect the system crashed three times in a week because an old Adobe app didn't play well on Windows 11, so we downgraded to version 10. Speaking of software, the biggest thing I've seen is OneDrive... She noticed it was uploading her data to the cloud and didn't like it, so she stopped it. She logged into her M$ account and deleted the cloud data. Guess what? OneDrive retaliated by wiping her PC's data. New computers are fun—this was my second time doing that in March, when I uninstalled OneDrive.
