Testing Mother Board today need help.

Okay so I got my Asus Rampage V and my 5930k came in today as well. I have my memory and my power supply as well. I'm just waiting on my Gpu.

My question is, Can I use the Cpu cooler that comes with the 5930k to see if the mobo will post?
And if so, should I buy some thermal paste or will the thermal paste on the Intel fan be enough?
Also any other tips will be welcomed.

No because you need a GPU to post. The 5930k has no iGPU. As for the CPU cooler, I don't think that the 5930k comes with a cooler... so whatever Intel cooler you do have I wouldn't use.
