Forgot to plug in pump...

[Chingchongpingling]

I forgot to plug in my pump for the H100i. I was rewiring my system and didnt notice it wasn't plugged in. I never booted into Windows, and once I saw that the fans weren't moving I turned it off. After 2-3 times of trial and error by turning it off and on for 3ish seconds I realised it was the damn sata cable. This is okay right? I mean, it was only a few seconds and only got to the BIOs screen

The system will be alright, it will thermal throttle and shutdown before it gets overly hot to the point of damaging itself.

it would just overheat and shut off due to the cpus built in thermal protection  ( unless u switch that off ) there shouldnt be an issue

You both are saints on earth. Bless you

overheat protection has been a part of all cpus since the flipchip era, they just shut off instead of letting themselves die. intel started with the later end of pentium 4s and the orignal core series made it mainsteam, but amd was a little later so you only see them implement this on the consumer level at am3 and beyond. but to make it simple, you can't overheat a modern cpu to distruction, kinda. you can overvolt it too much and end up destroying it ultimately through heat but just because the voltage was too high and some traces flash vaporized before any sort of internal regulation could take control.

 

in other words you could start your computer with no heatsink at all and not destroy the cpu.
