Silicon junctions melt something like 400C ish not 100C. The max you see is the operating temp of the CPU. For intel CPU if you go beyond what the slow clocking can deal with the CPU turns itself off to prevent damage. Intel did this to stop people asking for replacement parts when there cooling was at fault.
