I was running IntelBurnTest on my PC, and during the run my stock Intel CPU cooler failed. I didn't notice it had failed until I came into the room and smelled that plasticy smell that occurs when electronics get hot. I believe RealTemp reported that the CPU was running at around 80 C or so, but I shut down the PC right away and so I can't be sure.
I have since replaced the stock CPU cooler with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus. Do you think I damaged my computer? I was planning on running IBT for 20 passes, OCCT for 1 hour, and Prime95 Blend for 24 hours. If that passes, would you say my PC is safe to use?
My system:
Core i5 760 (not overclocked)
Asus P7P55D-E
2x2 GB Ripjaws RAM
Corsair HX650
