Safe temp for i7 7700?

[BennyG]

When playing Battlefield 4 on ultra settings, 1080p and 144fps my i7 7700 got to ~82 C. Is it safe at this temp for an hour or two, or should I reduce the settings I'm running the game at? If 82 C is ok, at what temp should i get worried and reduce the load on the cpu? I know the T junction is 100 C but other than that I don't have a clue. Also I only have one front case fan, will installing another one in the rear do much?

that temp is fine, don't worry about it. Max temp is 100c, it will throttle so it doesn't overheat. Don't worry about it

Thanks, I got a warning from the program I was using to monitor cpu and gpu temp so I was a little worried. I guess I can continue to crank up the settings on my games
