I have i7 7700. And i played Rainbow six siege and I looked at CPU tamps and i saw 85 degrees (in the application Omen Comad Centre, I dont know or I should believe it :/ ) I was pretty scared. I download application Intel stress test and I do a twenty minute stress test... Max temps was 85 and the avarage temps was 72. Are my temps OK ? Can it damage my desktop ?

If you mean intel burn test you should do 80-90% of your memory available. when you go intel burn test select custom and it shows how much ram available... If you have example 6500 available put 5500 and test. This will give you highest temperature.

I dont know for i7 7700 but for my first generation i7 temps below 80-85c are okay for intel burn test example. In gaming it drops to 60s anyway

Did you replace thermal paste when last time? Is your cpu overclocked? Do you have a stock fan?
Tjunction is around 100c when it starts to throttle so you dont harm your system below 90c

This is a new computer, and I did´t replace thermal paste. My CPU is´t overlocked. What do you think about "stock fan" ?

If you want to overclock it later you need to replace cooler, otherwise i would just go for thermal paste replace (check many guides before doing so you know how to on youtube example). Use isoprophyl alcohol 80% or more to clean cpu and heatsink with qtips and wipes... use force when cleaning heatsink make it shiny. Dont use force when cleaning processor die. Get some gc gelid extrme or NT-h1 and apply plenty but not too much ( again youtube is your friend how much)

If your gaming and cpu temperature goes to 85c thats not really ideal but it wont hurt your computer. Still you never can overclock your processor because your already hitting thermal limits at 80-85c. Throttling temperature is at 100c.
