Is shutting down when the CPU is hot will hurt the CPU?

Hello,

I have a question to ask. I hope you could answer me.

Can I know, normally when I benchmark Hitman: Absolution, the temperature rises to 78 degrees. Its a laptop with the following specifications:

Intel i7-4710HQ
Nvidia GTX 860M
8GB RAM
HGST 1TB HDD
Samsung IPS Display.

I normally leaves the computer on for several minutes to let it cool down before shutting down. However, would It damage or wear down the CPU if I just shut it down without letting it cool down?

Thanks

Okay, thank you. Before I pick the solution, may I ask another question? When I see MSI Dragon Gaming Centre, it reports a 10 degree higher than what is written on RealTemp ( Idling: RealTemp: 32 degrees, Dragon Gaming Centre: 42-44 Degrees ). Which one should I trust?
