This is a hypothetical question here.
I have an AMD FX-9590, and I want to know theoretically, how long would I be able to safely run the PC (without a full boot but only to the POST screen) to verify the MOBO is functioning. I have everything that I need set up and ready, I just don't have my CPU cooler yet, and I was wondering IF (IF) you even could do it, or would the CPU melt after 2.1 seconds into a pile of liquid mulch without a cooler on it.
What homemade alternatives would there be to a 5-10 second boot to safely control a CPU? For instance, would traditional fans work if all the PC would be turned on for no longer than 10 seconds?
