While im playing any kind of game on my computer, my processor is reaching over 100°F. can this be dangerous? do i need to replace it or put fresh thermal past on? Help is appreciated.

Fahrenheit or Celcius? If it's Fahrenheit, it's not hot. That's only 37°C, which is not at all hot. In fact, it's very low. If it's 100°C, it's very hot and there's a problem. You better verify which it is.

Temps are fine until you get over 60°C, and then you want to seriously start keeping on eye on things. Anything above 70°C is a real problem and at 74°C your system is in serious trouble.

If it's 100F like you say that is not a hot CPU. If its 100C that is one hot CPU
