Watch Dogs is a pretty buggy game. The glitch may be just be dodgy code in the game.

60 degrees is not too bad after 3 hours of Prime95

EDIT: Any modern CPU will always shut itself down before it gets hot enough to damage itself. First it will "throttle" (drop the frequency to stay cool), and if it still overheats after that it will just shut down. You won't have damaged it, don't worry.

The i5 650 can also handle 100C.

60C is borderlining to cold

My roomm is 20 degree

So I isn't damaged right!??

Doubt it! Intel processors have been able to survive overheating without dying since the Pentium 4 days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLkwFadiK2I

Your punctuation makes reading what your asking kinda tough. f you can run Prime 95 for 3 hours and not crash, your CPU is fine

Intel says 60C is fine (however, they say nothing about 100C). I hope they know what they're talking about. >.>

As far as damage being caused... Well, that would depend on what the temperature was when the fan was disconnected. Not what it was at some indeterminate time later after running Prime95 for 3 hours. It could have gotten to (using an absurd number as an example) 250C while the fan was off, and still only get to 60C with the fan connected while running Prime95. However, as NTMBK said, it *should* shut itself down before it gets hot enough to cause damage. You should be fine.

The tjmax is 100C on Clarkdale class CPUs.

The Tcase number you see on ark.intel.com is useless in this case. Tj is what software report back. Tcase is something you can only measure externally. And the location is entirely different.

Tj is measured with calibrated sensors in the cores. While Tcase is measured between the heatsink and the CPUs integrated heatspreader. You have to damage the CPU to measure Tcase. Tcase is a number only to OEMs/Cooler designers.
