Computer without CPU fan

[Eezka]

Hello! Recently, i started up my PC and when i booted it up it shows "CPU fan not detected" or similar, but i didn't notice it. On next day i booted up my computer again and again "CPU fan not detected" I checkd fan and i saw that CPU fan power cable blocked it from spinning. I got stress that did my CPU broke. It runned two days without CPU fan. Can it cause any damage

My CPU: I7-4770 3,4ghz

Thanks for advice!

It is very possible that you caused some sort of damage to your CPU but I am honestly surprised that it did not die. CPU's without cooling get very very hot. When you get a new computer or any new hardware do not just boot up and assume everything will be fine. On first boot just go into BIOS and regulate the CPU temps. They are usually not set to any max temperature by default, you have to do it yourself on some motherboards.

Nah no damage will be caused. Your CPU has defense mechanisms which underclock it when it reaches higher temp or turn off the PC completely. Don't worry, no problem or damage has been acused.

No, You won't cause any damage, from Pentium 4, all intel CPUs have auto throttle based on temperature, try search on youtube and you'll see a video that P4 running a benchmark without HEATSINK!
Also, I tried to cook my i3 mobile CPU to die but failed, it begin to throttle @ 95 C, and never die.
