Can or should you run a 6700k without a CPU cooler?

[OkLoL]

Can I install the CPU cooler later?

[narrdarr]

no and no

Maybe if you did some extreme underclocking but it would still then probably have too many issues.

So.

Can you? Yes. Should you? Might as well throw it away now.

You can avoid adding a cpu cooler now if you have a high lung capacity and can blow on it yourself. Otherwise you'll need to find something or someone with greater blowing capacity, like YO MOMMA.

 

Your processor should come with a stock one anyway though so why not use that instead of having an uncovered frying pan in your case?

Huh mine did thts weird

[themctipers]

Well, I ran a Q9650 w/o cooling for a bit to access the BIOS to update the BIOS

 

but it didnt work after 2 tries.. so instead of being fucking dumb i installed the cooling..

after that, it worked..

 

really, why would you? if a q9650 couldn't just to update the bios, bet you a new fucking i7 can't.

 

 

 

 

also you'll kill it fast.

Skylake K's don't. Broadwell and before do.

carey holzman felt cingingly comfortable doing it with an i3..

 

that said, we're talking almost a doubling in wattage, and that i3 is throttling down into the ground, probably to the point it's a less than pleasant experience, and probably means damage in the long term as well.

It probably wasn't a Skylake K though.

 

Honestly if you're getting a K CPU, getting a good heatsink or AiO Closed Loop liquid cooler should be in your budget.

it is perfectly alright if you just want to enter BIOS, see your temps are 80 And instantly shut down.

watch the video, and keep something close to hold while cringing.

No, it'll die pretty fast.

Won't be able to cook food.

But will destroy your CPU.

The extra heat the 6700K Outputs would just make it too much, on my G3258 i was like 75C In BIOS

well, they are supposed to throttle themselves down, although i honestly wouldnt even say that the horror show carey performed should be repeated in a real world scenario.

Do you wanna kill your CPU?

You need to have cooler on CPU always. 

[LogicalDrm]

Yes, it can boot for few secs. And then it will auto-shutdown. No ,you shouldn't. Why would you even think that? First you spend $300 for CPU and want throw it away because you can't get basic cooler for it.

[ace_cheaply]

My mobo wouldn't even boot when the cpu fan was plugged into the wrong header.

That explains why the box feels so light.
