I'm curious about whether this might have led to any issues. I only did it after checking online, and I just want to confirm if it could have caused overheating problems. It was running for around 20 seconds.

In contemporary CPUs, they power down before sustaining harm.

Hello there, fresh member!
You're all set, but don't waste time trying to do this as a beginner. I'm calling you a novice because you're mounting the cooler and then turning on the system.
