Aurora R11, any damage to the CPU?

Question

I was running Microsoft flight simulator 2020. The game sets my default graphics to the highest setting for everything automatically. I was on the game for at least 7 hours with the highest graphic settings. Towards the end I checked the cpu temp because of very loud fan noises. The cpu temps(Celsius) averaged mid to high 80s with its highest peak of 94 degrees C. Immediately closed the game, and it cooled down to a much lower temp. So for at least 7 hours the cpu temps were around 85-87C with peaks into lower 90s. could I’ve caused any damage to the PC?

T junction on the 10700k is 100c. The pc will shut down to prevent damage if you get too hot.  If you constantly run it in the high 90s you may reduce the life expectancy of the cpu over time.  Your one gaming session maxing out at 95 didn't do any damage.   Don't sweat it.

I would tend to doubt you did any damage, the CPU is designed to throttle down due to high thermals and I'm sure that's what it did.  You may want to adjust your fan speeds a little so you not maxing on the upper temperature limits for such long time periods.
