I have my custom water cooled build ready but I am waiting for GPU's. Can I boot and setup the rig without any cooling except the EK water block with no coolant running through the system. I am looking at booting up and then puting windows 8 on it and then shutting down?

Thanks

I would not do that... You can however just use the stock cooler which should come with your CPU to setup and test the system which you should be doing anyway. Don't want to put all that work and find that a part die do you

try before setting everything up with stock coolers uless it is already set up then you could do that but you would have to fill the system its not the best idea

Please follow your topics guys, it's very important! CoC F.A.Q  Please use the corresponding PC part picker link for your country USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, New Zealand and Germany

also if you find anyone with this handle in games its most likely me so say hi

I probably wouldnt go as far as to install windows

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Nevermind, noticed it's a CPU that doesn't come with iGPU or a stock cooler.

 

It's a shame that build has to have a Corsair RM

Just having empty water cooling block is same as running it without anything. It will overheat and most likely be unusable before you see POST screen.

Did that do my old Xeon X3350 without installing a CPU Cooler. Managed to install Vista, drivers, and even windows update.
