I'm curious about the lifespan of an AMD Ryzen CPU, especially in demanding scenarios like gaming where temperatures can spike to 95°C. How long can I expect it to last before any components start breaking down?

Most sources suggest that temperatures around 95°C won't drastically shorten a CPU's lifespan. They're built to handle a bit of heat! Just be wary if you're constantly hitting those temps while gaming – check your cooling setup or consider repasting.
I’ve had CPUs last 10 years or more without issues. My old i5 3470 is still running strong as my stream PC. It really depends on how you treat it though!
Generally, CPUs can last for decades without failure since they have no moving parts. Just keep your system clean and maybe reapply thermal paste every few years. You should be good!
Yeah, if you're hitting 95°C, something might be off with your cooler. Make sure it’s properly installed and your BIOS settings are right.
