Test Run CPU without Heatsink

[NerfThis]

I just got my main components for my new 7820X bulid.

However, my CPU waterblock is still on the way, and I want to do a test run (checking if it turns on and turning it off after 5~10 seconds)

Will this kill my CPU? I'm scared but I want to test if all my parts are functional.

Thanks.

Should be fine, won't kill it, they will shutdown before damage can be done.

Just needed to confirm with someone

don't do it.

most likely, nothing will happen, but I wouldn't risk it.

 

if you do it, then unplug as soon as it POSTs.

Someone tested a recent intel cpu, it functioned heavily throttling, but still not a good idea, there's a possibility your cpu could go kaputt

I won't recommend it.

 

Btw, why did you get a $600 CPU when threadripper is close to launch or why not Ryzen R7 1800X?

You'll be fine.

I had more than enough budget and I didn't want to wait another month since I don't have a computer ATM.

I wanted a CPU decently overkill for my needs and honestly I didn't really need a 7900X. (Would have bought it but went out of stock)

So I just got a 7830X..
