Hi, just ordered my PC not to long ago, and I received 2 parts of it yesterday. I got bored because I only have 2 components, and came up with a question.

I was wondering if it's okay to plug in the PSU, and hook the GPU to the PSU, and turn on the power to see if the fans spin up?

Would that damage anything since it has no MoBo to control it or anything? I don't want to damage any components because it's my first build, but I am also bored & wanting to test out my parts, so I was just wondering.

Sorry for the noob question, I just really want to be sure I don't damage anything, so I thought I'd ask before I try things.
