I've got a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU that's hitting 85-90 degrees while I'm gaming, and I'm using the stock fan for now. Unfortunately, I can't afford a new cooler at the moment. I'm planning to keep running it like this for about a year. Is this temperature going to damage my CPU or shorten its lifespan?

Generally, your CPU is designed to handle these temps, so it shouldn't be harmed as long as you're using it within manufacturer's specifications. However, cooler temps are always better for longevity. If you can, consider investing in a better cooler down the line.
I found a cooler that's around $35 in my region, so I plan to buy it when I have the funds. Thanks for the suggestion!
