Hello,

So I bought 3 new identical builds (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Moustafaelsawy/saved/1Rmg) and the case is taking time to get shipped to Dubai cause I ordered it from the US, but I cant really wait longer and I want to test my components whether they are fully functional or not? (I already lost 30 days cause I was in egypt for summer) So I think I should stop wasting time and atleast do a test boot without a case to check for the main components are all FUNCTIONAL.

So my question is, which is the best way to test them? Should I just add the CPU to the motherboard and connect my GPU+ram+PSU? or Do I need to add the cooler etc?

help please! :)

Thanks in advance!

Quick edit: The case will arrive in approx 10days or so, is it worth opening all the components and testing them then putting them back in the boxes or not worth it? Should I just wait and test them when the case arrives?

Its just a test boot, to check it reaches BIOS? If it reaches BIOS doesnt it mean its working properly?

So its pointless to just run it until BIOS? If I need to do stress runs I definitely need the cooler etc which I wont install cause I will have to take it all apart again till the case reaches!

What im asking is, I just want to test boot it if it reaches BIOS. I cant go through the trouble of adding windows and then doing everything and putting everything apart. Is it of any use to see if reaches BIOS? Will that benefit me in anyway or a part can be faulty and still reach BIOS?

If I do it now, ill have to connect all parts and use the stock coolerr which when I take off I have to clean all the thermal compound etc etc,

Say I do it now, Can I keep the processor in the mother board when I pack the stuff back in or should I take everything out?
