Okay, so I was really dumb today out of stress and was doing tests. I didn't have the cooler on and tested my board, no hard drive either. touched the power switch prongs with a screw driver and the BIOS came up, showing i have a cpu temp of 88*C, i came back later (30 seconds later) and reset it, and it came up with the "CPU over temp" bios message. I promptly heard the faintest possible "ptss" sound (Hoping it's PSU) before i switched the power off. The whole thing happened in less than 1 minute. What are the chances of me severely damaging the cpu? The cpu never actually went into windows, nor did it load anything but bios, and did not smoulder/smoke, but I'm just scared shi*tless right now.
Tested CPU without heatsink, chances of damage?

In the old days you could burn a cpu in seconds. Poor amd duron newer saw life. You need to get a heatsink and try to boot, then you will know.

It should have turned off before any damage has occured, if your running it to check for issues, let the bios come up and then turn it off asap. Otherwise a hsf is 100% needed.

All intel stock heatsinks are the same. You should use paste I cannot recommend without. Just not worth the risk
