Hi,
I have just received my motherboard, cpu and all other components except the cpu cooler (Hyper TX3 Evo). I do not have a stock cpu cooler, because I bought the cpu second hand.
I want to check whether my cpu and motherboard are working. So can I just start the motherboard to see if the bios comes up. Will my CPU be harmed if I turn on the machine for like 30 seconds to test if it works, without any heatsink?
Thanks very much!
