Question Permanent damage through overheating?

[Taniki]

My tower started making odd noises likely a fan issue and I checked the temps via the msi dragon software which reported 99C and 80C for core and socket respectively.

Shutting the system down, I was given a notification that the cpu was overheating.

Is this likely to have shortened the life of the cpu significantly?

If you got an overheating issue while working with an AIO, I'd try and make sure that the pump isn't conked out. What is the orientation of the AIO with regards to you build?

When the CPUs hit such temps, they should automatically downclock and undervolt themselves to bring temps down precisely to prevent damage...

I'd not worry about anything permanent, just concentrate on confirming your AIO has 'headed South', be it due to outright failure, or typical degradation due to pump micro-fins clogged with fouling gunk deposits, etc...; replace AIO with lesser cost but competent air-cooler, if you case is wide enough to accommodate one...

Intel CPUs are rated for 100°C tjunction (on the die) and can run at that temp "for ever" as already mentioned above CPUs automatically adjust other settings to keep the CPU safe.
