So I just bought my new ASRock Mobo and Intel i5 4670k processor and mounted the stock heat sink fan. I will not be able to complete my build for another 2 weeks atleast. So my question is, is t okay to mounth the cpu and heatsink fan early? I packaged it back up and put it in a safe cool place until I get the rest of my parts.
Also when looking over the fan i touched the thermal paste and smudged it slightly, hardly at all. Is that also okay?
Thanks To all who can help!
