Recently turned off 'fan always on' setting through BIOS and worried if I've caused damage?

[qwerty29]

Basically, before I made the change, my core temperatures usually hovered around the 40C (104F) mark when using under a low load. I decided to check the temperatures a few days after I made the change and, to my surprise, it was at around 65–70C (150F) and the fans still hadn’t turned themselves on (they only did when the temperature got a bit higher). Now I’m worried if I’ve caused irreversible damage to my unit due to the excess heat that has been lingering around for the past few days. I'm aware that this temperature is within an acceptable range, but does the fact that its been at this temperature consecutively for a long while make any difference to the damage caused? Is it normal for the temperature to be this high without the fan turning itself on, or is it likely that my sensors are faulty? Thanks.

Please do not turn on the fan.

If the computer idles getting 65-degree that is normal.
