Does high CPU utilization cause damage?

[Manderley]

My CPU utilization is usually not high while Gaming but one certain game, Halo Infinite, causes it to go to 80%+ at times (mostly spikes). Is this dangerous?

I think it might be a bug the devs have not fixed yet.

 

The EXACT same thing happens to me on my Ryzen 5 3600 and it's why i stopped playing the damn game... bad optimization on their part.

No. It can run 24/7 at 100%.

No just because it has a utilization of 100% doesn't mean the lifespan is going to be less. If cpu's were designed that way, that would mean that people playing civ 6 and using blender and stuff would have to buy new cpu's every year. As for high temperatures, it doesn't matter too much but if it is constantly running at 80 -100C then it might decrease the lifespan by a little bit, but still not too much.

cpu is the most resilient part in your computer system.

the only enemy is temperature, only above 100c you should be worry, although the system will auto shutdown when it does.

if you maintain normal temperature, degradation will be close to nothing.
