Building computer outside the chassis

[Shane.N]

Hello, I plan on building my first fully liquid cooled pc my question is I plan on building it outside to test the parts before I put it in the chassis. Do I have to hook up the water hoses outside to test it or is it ok to test it real quick without any kid of cooler. Thanks

I dont think thats a good idea u should just put the stock cooler on for testing purposes it only takes a second to put on assuming u are using the lga1150/55/56 socket.

Test it with the Stock cooler. It's the best option.

(assuming this isn't LGA 2011)

Lga 1150 but what about the gpu? I'm going with a 770 hydro copper

Don't turn it on without some sort of cooling, or you're going to fry your parts.
