Last week I removed the old intel CPU fan while changing case. I ordered a new liquid cooler and waiting for it. But still using the old CPU fan. Now CPU temperature is reaching 105 C. Should I stop using the PC till i get the new fan?

Edit: Old Thermal paste is very much dried up and I think its not in proper contact.

Yes, don't run your CPU at 105c. What CPU, and what cooler did you order? I generally recommend against AiO liquid coolers because they often perform worse, or no better than high-end air coolers, while making more noise and costing twice as much.

PCPER found that the Sedion 120v Plus performs about the same as the $25 Coolermaster Hyper212 EVO:

For the same money, you could get a much better air cooler that would perform far better.

After Installing Cooler Master V 120 Plus. Maximum CPU Temparature after stress test by CPU-Z is 61 Celcius. I guess that's enough for me
