Unplugged my CPU fan by accident

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I reconnected everything after doing a full blown cable management revamp and then I didn't like how my fan controller wasn't screwed in well. Pulled it out and rescrewed the rails in which required unplugging the cpu fan from it. Whoops. I turned my comp on and played 10 min of Hitman and then the system shut down. No, I didn't have any bugs or any errors, but rather my shutdown temperature kicked in.

I set it at 60C in BIOS but CoreTemp which is more accurate in checking temps usually reports 3 - 4 C above. I've never even broken 55 on this CPU except for stress testing on a hot day. Usually I load around 44 in Mobo Monitor, but CoreTemp can report up to 50.

Hope I didn't damage anything ><

Edit: Rig is an Opteron 170 running at 2.6 GHz

It should have survived

<3 Hitman!!!
Your computer will be fine if it didn't go over 70C I believe. Well 70C is REALLY pushing it and the stated limit is just shy over 60C.

If it catches on fire do not throw water on it!

It will be fine, stop worrying. I recently made the same mistake when rewiring and left my VF900 unplugged, resulting in my X1800XT exploding after 20min of 2D web browsing.
