I assembled my machine while keeping the protective label on the CPU cooler. After a few days, my cup started getting warm, so I removed the label and reinserted the cooler. Could this affect the CPU? Is there a method to check if it’s safe? I only used that setup briefly and didn’t leave it on for extended periods.

CPU's will throttle themselves to stop it from taking damage when overheating or even shut down completely. The chances of your CPU being damaged from a day or two is very low. If its working fine now with the cooler properly attached without the sticker, I wouldn't worry at all Just continue to use the computer as normal.

If it works now, its fine. It might be very slightly degraded, but nothing to worry about. They are pretty well protected nowadays

I don't believe a day or two is sufficient to break it down, I think it's under 100°C. Probably you're not even hitting the maximum temperature limit. If it's around 100°C, then you're unlikely to notice any effect after a decade—though at about 130°C it might be possible, and even then it would probably be hard to spot unless it was constantly running at that level. I'm pretty sure thermal shutdown kicks in near 115°C, especially if you didn't adjust it manually. As for what temperature would cause immediate failure, I have no idea, but I assume it's well above 130°C. If it's off, it should handle much higher temps—maybe over 200°C for soldering the IHS. Overclocking wouldn't help much at such extremes. Just enjoy your PC!

Unless heavily overclocked and safety turned off, it's okay. A drop of 0.1 to 9 GHz could be lost! Maybe just a small decrease of 0.1 GHz?!!!
