It does matter, unfortunately. Chiplet based Ryzen is harder to cool than Ryzen APUs or Intel. X3D is even harder - except for 9000-series that has the CPU die on top of the cache, and not the other way around. That cache die is a big heat insulator. The offset position of the compute die doesn't help, either. This same cooler could easily keep my 11700 under 80 °C at 120-130 W. It can only do the same with the 7800X3D under the 61 W PPT.
Sure, the heat produced by two different CPUs at the same wattage is the same, but their ability to dissipate that heat is different. Heat and temperature are not the same thing.
I'm the opposite - I hold lots of feelings to all of my hardware. That's why I still have the 11700. I can't bring myself to sell it, so I'm using it in a HTPC instead.
Although, I do think that even owning a 14900K, or a 7800X3D is special. Most people rock more budget-friendly systems, like 13600K or 5700X ones. And here we are, running our high end chips at our own settings, which even fewer people do. This is what I meant earlier. There's nothing wrong with it. We're not little Jimmies begging daddy for a new PC - we're hardware enthusiasts with our own preferences, and that's cool.
