testing before assembly

[HardStroke]

so i just got my new trio today and i would like to know, is it recommended testing the parts before putting them in?

if i will test them ill probably have to remove the cpu cooler and reinstall it again, using more thermal paste so im not so sure...

[gloop]

Yes, I would highly recommend testing the parts outside of the case.

Why?  You put in CPU, mount cooler, and then when it works move the entire set into the case.

 

Or did you get an AIO or custom loop that you need to do another way?

Thermal paste isn't expensive, and a tube usually has multiple installations worth of paste.

its aio

im overclocking so i have an aio and not a simple air cooler

good air cooling option are just too expensive and i rather have a liquid cooler then an air cooler
