The CPU is 100 degrees all year round, does it matter?

I recently bought an m4pro to run some calculations. I found that Apple's strategy is to press the cpu steadily by 100 degrees, so that it will not continue to accelerate the fan speed.
I would like to ask experienced friends, if the CPU is at 100 degrees all the year round, does it have a big impact on life?

Anonymous7835 Apr 1, 2025@ Anonymous7836, there is an old notebook with poor heat dissipation. When the server uses a low load, it is 70 +, a slightly larger load is 90 +, and it is 110 + power-off protection for a few minutes at full load. It runs like this for two or three years, because it is not easy to disassemble and it is too old, and I worry that it will break down once I disassemble it.

Anonymous7838 Apr 1, 2025The cpu tolerates much higher temperatures than expected and has no effect on itself. The main reason is that other components in the chassis (motherboard memory video memory m2) are affected after high temperatures. Many mechanical hard drives use the air duct of the power supply, which will have less impact

Anonymous7839 Apr 1, 2025The cpu is quenched from a high temperature of several hundred degrees. The five elements belong to fire and are not afraid of high temperatures. The mac mini is not as compact as a notebook and is not afraid of heating to other hardware. But a high temperature is definitely more risky than a low temperature

Anonymous3193 Apr 1, 2025My soft router, which has been hot all year round, has recently started to restart itself frequently. I suspect it is virtual soldering or something like this The CPU is definitely fine, but the temperature is always high. The motherboard may frequently expand and contract with heat and cold for a long time, and slight cracks appear, and then something starts to have poor contact

Poster Apr 1, 2025@ Anonymous6105 can't do below 80 degrees, even if the fan is adjusted to 99%, it is still above 80 degrees

Poster Apr 1, 2025@ Anonymous3193 Well, I also think the cpu itself should be fine, but other components are hard to say

Anonymous6522 Apr 1, 2025When you are not in a hurry, just turn on low power, and the performance is also good.

Anonymous23 Apr 1, 2025It doesn't matter, I'm really worried, you can use stats to manually adjust the fan speed. My Intel Mac used to be locked at 4000 rpm by itself.

Poster Apr 1, 2025@ Anonymous6522 I found that if you turn on low power, it will be stable at around 20W, the efficiency is about 70%, and the temperature drops a lot

Anonymous7840 Apr 1, 2025It won't be a big problem if you don't reduce the frequency
-
Anonymous7841 Apr 1, 2025There is a software that can control the fan to the maximum, but the fan is always fully loaded, and dust, batteries, etc. may age quickly

Anonymous7842 Apr 2, 2025100 degrees may be fine for the CPU, but wouldn't this temperature cause problems with other components? It's quite hot to touch at 100 degrees

Poster Apr 3, 2025@ Anonymous7840 really won't downfrequency @ Anonymous10627 @ Anonymous7842 This thing accumulates heat, but the shell is not very hot. The highest fan speed blows out cool breeze, and the temperature is around 85.
