actually i did that, and i even left the cpu cooler on. you can lift the motherboard on it. (no joke!) it is really handy to grab on when liftin the mobo up.

 

edit: there is even a video where linus does just that. i just dont remember which one.

I wouldn't recommend doing it with a stock intel cooler with no backplate though.

true!

 

Don't do it with the stock cooler! Only with a backplate! I am really sorry for not pointing that out!

 

But you can definitely leave the CPU in the socket.

Pretty much that ;D I did same. I install coolers before I put mobo inside case.
