I don’t really care for looks I just want something that has good performance and not trash.

      I agree here even though I personally wouldn’t get an air cooler for a 13700k. Nothing wrong with one but just not for me.

        Peerless assassin SE works well for me. Temps never get higher than 85. PL 255 with slight downvolt

        14700k @ 265w load in cinebench r23 never breaks 90c and never throttles. this is with a phantom spirit and a contact frame. harder to cool than a 13700k too because of the extra e-cores.

      I am using a Noctua NH-U12A with a 14700K. After changing to stock Intel power limits and a mild 0.075 adaptive underclock I get idle temps of 30-33C, gaming temps of 40-45C, and work temps of up to max 66C depending on the application I am using. I expect the results will be very similar with a 13700K. It is a very efficient air cooler. Of course if I was aggressively overlocking I would have to use a decent AIO.
