I've been experiencing high CPU temperatures during gaming, often reaching around 70°C. My current model is an I7-7700, originally installed in August 2017 after replacing the I5-6600. I cleaned both the CPU and cooler (using Cryorig H7 Tower), reassembled everything, and posted afterward. Upon re-assembly, I noticed slight bending on the CPU's top right and bottom left sides. I managed to straighten it back in place and posted again. Now gaming keeps temperatures between 60°C and 70°C. I'm unsure if this is normal or if I should worry about damage or performance drops. My idle temps are between 30°C and 45°C. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.
