Hi,

The last tuesday I cleaned my pc and install my new RTX 3070. Everything was fine since I noticed that my AIO's water pump wasn't plugged to the power (yes, I know what you're thinking). In that moment my cpu's temps reached 81º. I immediately turned off the pc and reconnected the pump to the power supply and restart the pc. Now, my temps are normal, but I'm worried about the CPU. Could it be damaged from this mistake? It only stayed like that for 2 minutes.

Thanks for the answers.

No its totally fine if your PC reached above 95 it would just turn off so no issues there.
