My CPU Watercooler broke and until they send me a replacement which can take around 10 days I am using an old air cooler I still had at home. During gaming the cpu is constantly at around 80 degrees with max being 84 degrees. The CPU i am using is the i7 7700K. Are these temps at up to 84 degrees okay for the CPU or can it cause damage? I need to use this cooler for around 10 days until the liquid cooler replacement arrives.

 

Many thanks in advance!

It's fine. The CPU will just throttle itself once it gets too hot, so you will lose on the performance. Most likely will not have any real effect (short-term or long-term).

did you overclock the cpu?

if you did, turn it back to stock until you get the replacement
