CPU without attached cooling, shutdown- does it damage the chip?

[rondocap]

I temporarily started the pc after a build without putting any liquid or air cooler on intel x299 CPU just to test something, but regretted  it. 

 

System  slowed down and throttled, even at idle, and shut itself down after a few minutes. Highest temp I saw was 100, not sure if it went over. 

 

Cpu runs fine without issue and stays cool with liquid cooling, but was any damage done? Or do these chips gave good thermal protection?

It is possible to damage your chip doing that, but as long as everything runs fine with your cooler on then you are ok

Just be glad that Intel will shut down your PC once it reaches high temps.

If it was like in the old days, your CPU would die.

 

I just can't understand how can someone forget to add cooler on CPU before turning it on lol

 I didn't forget, I just didn't have the proper bracket to attach to the x 299, and I wanted to see if the computer would power on because I had just installed a new motherboard. I did attach a fan pointed at the CPU, but it didn't  really work. 

 

 I wouldn't do it again, it was one of those things you don't have experience with and then you  Learn not to do, ha. 

 

 Everything is connected now and working perfectly, CPU temps are much lower than my 7700 K was, which surprised me

Next time just hold the cooler on the CPU by hand if its just to see if it will POST.

I did the same to an old server i was tinkering with. The slim tight case makes a air tunnel and forces the air down the server and across all the cooling.

 

I didn't realize that and just opened her up. The fans started screaming and then it turned itself off.

 

The front fans on this particular server did ALL the work, and used the case as a air tunnel.

 

Lesson Learned. Lesson Learned. Lmao
