Yeah, this is after 2 minutes of Prime 95 Small FFT, got up to 100 shortly after the screen cap, then I panicked and shut off Prime 95, will playing games like that break my 3570k? It's so hot because I think my H100i is broken, since it is ticking in the pump as well but I can't replace it or RMA it since I have 0 dollars and I lost my stock cooler. Should I refrain from turning my system on? The hottest core idles at 64 degrees, would that dmg my system if I am just like internet browsing? I am going to get a Noctua DH-15 at some point, not sure when....\

Edit: I know my H100i is dead, there are air bubbles or there is a lack of coolant for some reason. Corsair support said nothing can be done except RMA it. I am wondering if 63 while internet browsing will break my system if I am not playing games until I get a new CPU cooler.

Try playing a game and monitor your temps. If they get over 85C then stop playing the game. You will be fine web browsing at 65C, just make sure it doesn't go above 85C. If it does, don't panic. Just stop whatever you are doing and let the CPU cool down for a bit.
