No. CPUs need to be designed to tolerate busy loops without damaging themselves (with appropriate cooling). CPUs of that era did not measure their own temperature, but they also weren't trying to squeeze as much juice through as the later Pentium 4s that ran very hot. Modern CPUs are self-regulating and try very hard to avoid damaging themselves even with inadequate cooling.
