I purchased a new mobo and cpu last week, MSI Z170A M7 Gaming and Skylake Intel Core i7-6700k processor, while putting it together I didn't properly put on my stock cpu cooler on tight enough. A week later while I was doing some diagnostics of my PC I realized my CPU was running at a really high temp of 100 degree Celsius even while idle. I quickly quit everything I was doing and fixed it, now its steady at 30 Celsius idle, havent tested while gaming.
My PC was probably on for a period of 3-7 hours a day for about a week before the fix. Did the lifespan of my new CPU greatly decrease? I know there was probably damage running at high temps for that long but did it cause serious damage to my CPU? I'm pretty worried because I just bought this and it cost alot.
