I have this paired with 32gb 3600mhz DDR4 and a 4070 Ti Super. It's a solid gaming PC at 1440P Ultra settings. I did some bios tweaks and under volted it a bit with the help of Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility with a core offset of -0.0175V. Its stable as a rock and never goes above 86c while gaming and benchmarking. I got it last Black friday around this same price.
undervolt and overclock it. Mine at 1.21v 5ghz all p cores/4ghz all e cores

90W TDP during gaming and 180W TDP on benchmarks.

This is an excellent bang for the buck, but i did get one from Newegg a couple months ago for $152 with a Mobo bundle discount. May want to hold, or research Newegg if in need of a new Mobo too.

Yeah, Some people are just lazy and never do any research or even try to get the most out of there systems. It's easier to just complain these things run tooo Hot. MB manufactures are partly to blame with all the pre sets over volting instead of under. 10 min of research and you can find the exact settings to try on your MB without much of trouble.

You can cool this with a $30 air cooler. It idles lower than similar AMD parts. It only gets thirsty under 100% workloads for extended periods, which isnt gaming or how 99% of people use their PC.

Heat isnt really a concern with this, especially when modern GPUs can pull 500w.

You trollin me us bro? It idles at like 30 C. Ever run an AMD processor. My old 3700X idled at 55 and the 12.7K runs sub 60 at load. I did pick one up at microcenter in 2022 for $200 with a MoBo bundle and 50off coupon so price isn't wonderful, but servicable.

actually I am not about psu power or heat .
If CPU with tdp 125w use electricity (compare to cpu with tdp 65w) +50w 24x7 its mean you pay electricity bill + $153 per year

If your CPU is pulling maximum wattage 24/7 then you do not have a strong enough CPU. The extreme majority of home PCs even ones used for gaming only burst up to maximum wattage for short periods of time even if they are not being throttled by temperature or power supply. Let alone the fact you're probably not actively using your computer 24/7.

While I understand where you're coming from, I feel like it is entirely reasonable to not want to have to undervolt your CPU just to get acceptable thermal performance from it. Some people want their components to just work right out of the box.
