Is the stock CPU cooler of the i5-6600K good enough to install windows 10 and drivers for my components of a new build without damage to my CPU? All my parts have been delivered except the CPU cooler, but today is a really convenient day to build the computer and install the OS and drivers. Is the stock fan good enough for these beginning tasks?

No, do not operate the CPU without a properly mounted CPU cooler. It is a required and essential component.

Expect the chip to be damaged if you run it without a cooler.

easily, the stock cpu cooler will be able to handle it as long as you dont oc

you can usually pick up a stock lga 1150/51 cooler for really cheap since people practically just throw them out

the i5 6600k doesn't come with a stock cooler, so I can't see how you can install windows before your cooler gets to you. wait until it gets to you. yes, I know it hurts seeing a pile of hardware waiting for windows, but's that the smart thing to do.
