Can I use the integrated graphics in my pc to play league?

[CoffeeStoreGuy]

My GPU died a few days ago and I have really nothing to until I get a new a few months from now. I would like to know if the CPU will be fine or should I expect some higher temperatures.

CPU: i5 4460

Yes you should expect higher temps as the iGPU is on the same die. Try to keep things under 80C and certainly under 90C if possible. As for gaming...maybe. Frame rate won't be great.

As above, give it a try. You probably will not be able to play all games. And frame rates will suffer.

I don't know if the CPU temps will be affected that much. I've used the integrated graphics before without any problems.

My cpu is going to die? also the only game I want to play is league and I have been getting okay frames good enough to play league that is. Also when I played league for about an hour today it seemed fine the temp stayed around 30C.

It won't die but it won't help it's longevity either only because increased temps decrease silicon life cycle as a whole. I wouldn't worry to much though either. It is made to be used, the iGPU I mean.

anything you can recommend that would prolong it's life but allowing me to also game with it?

Keep your temps down and use the best cooling solution you can afford. If your running a stock fan and heatsink you certainly want to step up to something higher end and beefier. Something by noctua would be ideal like the DH-15 or something similar to it.

I can confirm I already have a huge noctua heatsink and fan so I think I'm good on that, but thermal paste Idk I think I used what came with it which was like artic non conducting solution. I put it on 2 years ago though I think I need to change it even though it's running at like 30C.

if your running at 30C I wouldn't stress a thing. Just game on.
