100c Temp on my CPU is it ok for an hour?

[rawglobal98]

Is it ok if i run my CPU on 100c just for an hour, Will it go into Shutdown? because im rendering a video and i need it out by tomorrow so i need to put the cpu on hight terms but as soon as i am done rendering im ordering a new Cooler (any suggestions?) my CPU is a i7 7700k

BTW this is only for one hour then ill get a new cooler

You can get away with those temperatures for your scenario, as your CPU throttles to keep temperatures at bay (reducing the likelihood of thermal damage).
In order for us to recommend a cooler, we must know your computer case.

oh ok would you like a picture. Can you send pictures on here?
or can you tell me how to see what case if have.

i also render videos - my first build ran a i7-4790, and i was using the motherboard mfgrs (Asus) performance utility to monitor my temps - it never showed above 67C - in fact it seemed to go straight to 67C and hold that constant, even after video rendering job was done.

I downloaded a few other temp monitoring utilities to see what they reported, and couldn't believe they were reporting 98-100C - it would hit 100C, and drop back to 98C for a few seconds then go straight back to 100C - and it kept repeating that cycle. Found out Asus's AI Suite III had a lot of issues so i ditched it. But the point is i'd been rendering video files (1-3 hour jobs) for 3+ months, not realizing my cpu was bouncing off 100C.

i downladed intel's XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility) and it has a benchmark test, that once you run it it offers the option of uploading your score on their website to compare to others - once there you can narrow the comparison down to folks running the same CPU & mobo - i consistently place within the top 5% of the other users' benchmarks, so it apparently didn't hurt my CPU

intel CPUs have a built in thermal (temp) limiter, so if it hits that max temp for your CPU it will throttle the load back to let the temps drop some - so it will be safe, but you have to decide for yourself.

if i'd have known, i wouldn't have run my cpu at those temps

and so you're aware, if it's hitting 100C, it has throttled performance somewhat before the 100C mark, so the job is actually running slower that it should. I'd stay at the slower setting and you might be surprised to find the job completes in the same time

I'd look at Noctua coolers, D14, D15 etc

What cooler do you have now? I would try re-applying thermal paste before running to buy a new fan. Also helps to get "good" thermal paste. I just re-applied paste on a CPU that was doing 90C+ under load and now it is around 60C under load.

Clock your cpu at a lower clockspeed (while waiting for an adequate cooler), there is nothing so critical that it MUST be done in 23 minutes, or 1 hour, etc....
