What sort of fan speeds are you getting with the CPU fan? And what about the thermal paste, maybe you need to reapply it? Or how about the mounting of the heat-sink, maybe it came a little loose?

Sure, there is a chance overheating CPU could cause it to become damaged. Of course if you noticed the temperatures and cut the system off quickly enough, then that minimizes the chances of damage. The system is supposed to be designed to throttle the CPU performance and shut down the system if the CPU gets to hot to help avoid damaging it though.
