Update for posterity: The ALF II 280 actually performed the same as my NH-D14 in thermal stress testing. I ran y-cruncher for an all-core workload that reliably thermal throttled 100 C @ 220 W. The clock frequency is dependent on the voltage given, which has been a pain to tune. I don't think this chip can go beyond 5.6 GHz stable without adding so much voltage that it is actually lower performance in most workloads. 5.7 GHz can be made borderline for most workloads, 5.8 GHz is unstable, and 5.9 GHz does not boot. I know the adaptive selection voltage mode should be able to address this, but something about the BIOS is incorrect. These results refute my theory that the 13700k could match the 13900k and the 13900k is in fact well-binned.
That doesn't mean the 13700k can't match (or exceed) the out-of-box Factorio performance of the 13900k when given better memory, hence the score of 304 UPS.
Bonus: E-cores have thermal headroom at stock and can be stable at 4.5 GHz if given +0.1 V, but this cuts into the thermal headroom of the P-cores in all-core workloads and lowers the overall performance. Bumping to 4.3 GHz from 4.2 GHz with no voltage increase is stable.
