Those CPUs run hot, but it got exaggerated a lot online. Itβs not hard to handle their heat with a good air cooler (even some of the $50 units like the Peerless Assassin) or a run of the mill closed loop water cooler.
There are a lot of old notions in the gaming community that you need to keep CPUs under arbitrary temperature thresholds or that any throttling is bad. Modern CPUs and GPUs run themselves deep into the performance curves and slight throttling is barely noticeable.
Hm, to keep in mind though that what the gaming community always claimed actually did happen with those processors - they disintegrated because of too much voltage (and probably heat). https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/processors/intel-cpu-crashe.... So the "run themselves deep into the performance curves" part of these Intel processors was a disaster.
Although it looks like the heat indeed makes it worse
> If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.
