i7 7700 temperature

[Vladonee]

So I was playing Reinbow Six Siege for the first time with this cpu and noticed that the stock fans were loud, I got out of the game and CPU temperatures (monitor with MSI AfterBurner) were hovering around 82 C (MAX 86 C)...

I immediately quit the game and never start it since then...

I bought the Master Cooler 212 LED and is yet to arrive but I`m still scared and skeptical about my cpu...

My question is: Can 86 C degree spike and 82 C for like 30 min of gameplay damage my CPU?

no it wont damage
CPU will never reach at that damage state temp it will just shut down
let us know how are your TEMP with 212

Are you using the stock cooler? Those temps are really high, dont stress test or do any cpu intensive task on the present cooler. Even do check whether the thermal paste is applied properly or not. While you have ordered the 212 evo, also go ahead get yourself the cooler master mastergel maker nano or the MX4 thermal paste. I personally prefer and use the mastergel maker nano.
And no it wont damage your cpu, but when used in such condition for months, then it may degrade the processor. Heat is an enemy of computer parts.

Only thing I can say, that your thermal paste will faster need replacement, that's only thing that may happen. Master Cooler 212 is great, you can get really nice temps ~60 C. I play on laptop so 80 C is common for me. 5 years, still going

Ty guys, in gta online i get only 60 C all the time but to play Reinbow Six siege im still waiting for the cooler... im glad that it didnt damage anything tho!

I mean in conclusion higher temperatures isn't the best but don't expect your CPU to blowup or anything. It's okay the way it is but if you ever intend to do more demanding tasks such as streaming or maybe rendering etc then I personally think you might to see some issues or at least see the temperature rise but on this link https://ark.intel.com/products/97128/Intel-Core-i7-7700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz (By Intel themselfs) it seems it doesn't start to thermal throttle until it hits 100c so I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it and your new cooler should do the job.
