FX-8370 in LN2 Mode

My kids managed to put my motherboard in LN2 mode with out me noticing, i tried to boot a couple times with this setting before i got to the bios and saw it.  what are the chances the processor will still be usable under normal conditions? in bios i was still able to see the CPU details.

If you are not using Liquid Nitrogen to cool your CPU I highly suggest you disable LN2 in BIOS/UEFI.

Explanations from an old previous Thread on Tom's Hardware tech site:

This review of an Asus ROG BIOS/UEFI from 2019 made this statement about LN2: BIOS And Software - The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact: A Sharp $430 Impulse on X570 

Note - We didn't enable LN2 mode at any point during our testing as we didn't want to risk potential damage to our testbed hardware.
