Im still waiting on my CPU to arrive but I have the rest of an awesome Core 2 Duo build sitting here. Id like to test a few things out with my fan/temp controllers, is it safe to start with everything connected or should I just connect the few things I need to test and hotwire the PSU?
I would connect the few things you need to test and hotwire the psu..
Well I am not totally sure but I don't think you could even get into the bios without a cpu. About all you might get is a few beeps.
If all you want to do is adjust the fan controllers then you can hot wire the psu with the fans and adjust away.
Does anyone know where i can get bananas like thisthe only ones I can get don't dance and go black after a few weeks
I tried this once with a p4p800. I just got beeping and thats all

Won't hurt anything, but really not usefull for testing anything either.
no CPU = no POST so you can't set up the BIOS or anything like that. But you can operate fans and such since the power would be on.
