Will a pc start whit out Thermal Compound on the gpu or pcu?

laviniuc · Feb 15, 2014

probably yes, best not to try it though as you risk burning them

Start, yes. However, it's quite likely to either crash from thermal overload, throttle to really really slow, and/or burn.

Go spend $5 on the stuff.

25% off on Newegg; both are pretty good stuff, although the latter is a bit better.
