Hello everyone. I got a new case since it is bigger and better. I was wondering can I leave my CPU and ram in the motherboard while I swap it over into my new case? I will remove the GPU. Only problem is I am using a noctua CPU cooler. Will that fine to leave it on there or should I remove the cooler? Thank you!
Got a new tower PC case need help please.

So I can't safely unscrew my motherboard, and screw it safely into my new box with the CPU/Ram in? I don't have any of that alcohol stuff to remove the thermal pasting and I got no thermal paste stuff so I'd prefer not to have to remove my cpu. My noctua cooler is mounted on the CPU with thermal paste.
Yes you can do, done it before. You don;t really need to remove the cpu cooler. Don't do silly things like swing it or hold onto the cpu cooler and not supporting the back of the motherboard.
Just make sure when you take out the motherboard, place it on a box on a flat surface. Make sure you got the correct screws for your standoffs as they are not all universal with screws.

Ofcourse you can. Infact this is quite a practice of installing CPU, its HSF and RAMs outside of the case on the mobo and then install the mobo. Just make sure to use firm grip while holding mobo and installing in the case. Don't let it bend.
