Should I play with this?

So, my friend ordered some computer parts for his new build, and had them shipped to my place for me to hang on to them as he went on family vacation in Dubai.

 

Today, this came.

I messaged him and told him it arrived, he told me that I could play around with it if I wanted, install it in my rig see how it performs and stuff, just give it back when he comes back in a week or so.

 

Should I? O.o My 970 is still on it's way back from RMA and I'd love to try something new, but on the other hand I want to keep it sealed in the packaging for him...

It would be bad if something would happen to it.. Hehe.. Hehehe.. =3

I would not try it. If something would go wrong like your psu killing gpu.. I would not feel good about it. Better keep it safe.

Did he give you permission because you ASKED, or because he simply offered? Big difference.

I see

 

Well, your decision then. There is a risk you run with opening/using a brand new piece of hardware that isn't yours though.
