Well, my story seem to be quite common amongst the noobs.
3 days ago I start building my pc for the first time.
I got all the hardwares plugged in for the testing, except the cpu cooler.
I thought it would be fine for a second of ten, I just needed to see if it start up properly. I thought it would only be a probleem if I were to overclock it.
But when I saw the black screen with "insert media driver" text I became to excited and start making photo with my iphone xD, forgetting about the cpu cooler.
I turned off everything right afterwards, after 1~2 min. Then I realised that I have forgotten about the cooler, I touched the cpu slightly to see if it got overheated badly. It was around 30~50 C. I am still not sure if it just cooled down really fast, or the operating temperatuur was really that low.
Anyway, I have been using my pc to play games and everything for 3 days without any probleem. But I am still worry.
Could I have done some serious hidden damage to my CPU?
My motherboard was an Asus Sabertooth Z77 and CPU was 3570k.
