Hello , i'm currenly rendering for youtube , and i rendered like 3 minutes 720p 30fps in like 13 minutes , all the time my CPU usage was like 97% or 100% , and the temp max at 53 C , does rendering at that usage can broke my CPU over time ? Or it is normal ? Because I am affraid. Thank you in advice.

Some one once told me the worst thing I can do for my computer is turn it on. :p I only say this because any CPU activity will wear your computer out. Most computers under normal loads and not overclocked make it about 20 years if not more. Computers that are constantly under load probably half that depending on the CPU. Xeons last longer than desktop computers.

All of that being said how long do you want your computer to last? I generally don't keep a computer past 5 or 6 years before I am trading it in for a new one. The other thing is you have an AMD CPU which would make it easy to upgrade.

The biggest enemy to electronics is heat. The cooler they run, the longer they last.

Your temperatures are good. CPU should be fine for several years.
