Will not turning on computer for first time after building it harm CPU

[blitzace]

Wasn't sure where to put this so figured this was as good a place as any.

I just got done putting together my build hooray! But it's kind of late and I'd rather not boot up for the first time and just do everything tomorrow.

My question is if its a bad thing to not turn on the computer soon after applying TIM to the CPU and assembling? I've been at this for a couple of hours now and I'm afraid it might dry / not cure properly or maybe even gravity overnight is going to cause it to bleed out ruining my application (which I was very proud of for my first time lol)

What do you guys think? Should I suck it up or would calling it a night and picking up tomorrow not make any difference? Thanks!

You're fine. You could wait a month if you wanted to, and it wouldn't hurt a thing.

Great! Thanks very much cjl Gonna get some rest and hope that everything boots up alright tomorrow, otherwise I think I'll break down and cry lol

Anyways thanks again and have a good night!
