Should I...

[Captain0rex]

Hello.

This is my first desktop build and I haven't gotten the case yet because the store I'm using hasn't stocked it and I can't wait till they've stocked it, I am using the Motherboard box for where the mother board will be "Installed" until the case arrives and I'm wondering if I should install my H100I or just not use it (The PC) until the case arrives (The stock heat sync broke when I took it out.) And I realise I shouldn't use the computer on the box for normal use (Not gaming im not that crazy!!).

Oh and also since I will be swapping thermal compound when the case arrives, COULD I just mix the preset H100i compound with the stock one? (Don't have anything to clean off the compound).

Yes I know this sounds nooby and well.. It is but I seriously can't wait for the case.

Thanks for the help!!

I'd wait in this case (no pun intended) since cleaning the thermal is a pain.
