Hello,
I recently bought my whole machine in United States but the problem is i don't live here therefore i want to try the system without any case just to check on the bios it recognizes everything.
I've got a h100iV2 cooler but i dont want to use due to the thermal paste.
Do you think it is possible to run it without cooler on bios??
Thanks and sorry for any bad language, it is noy my first language.

Do NOT try that.
The chip will overheat in a matter of seconds without cooling.

Even a basic air cooler or heat sink will suffice for a short period.

Terrible idea, the CPU will overheat in seconds, and potentially destroy it. Have a Professional do the Thermal Paste if you're too scared to.
