Hi community!
I am about to sell my friend one of my unused motherboards (MSI-GD43), and I was wondering if there was an easy was to test it to see if it still works. I'm wondering if there is a way to test it with my current setup's PSU without unplugging the ssd's, hdds, graphics card and molex fans from MY setup. And if I don't have to unplug them, is there any risk attached to it?
I don't know if having a graphics card or hdd's plugged into a different system whilst the psu is on is going to be a problem.
Note, I will have a cpu and ram plugged into the testing motherboard.
Thanks for any replies!
