Default processor + no fan

i ordered a stuff to put together my first self built rig. anyway, put it all together and no display.. so narrowed it down to the motherboard after testing some hardware out. however, when i was taking the stock CPU fan out of the motherboard a fan connector was being stubborn and one connector broke. so i set my comp back up after the new motherboard arrived and turned it on for a quick second just to see if anything else was potentially not working. everything turned on fine.


now onto the questions..

I ordered a new heat sink fan, since i'm going to be over clocking the E2180, seemed like best idea . but i need to get into bios and change some stuff around in the mean time, like my ram voltages and stuff so i can put my new ram in and give my friends ram back.
i've always heard never to run a cpu without the heat sink fan because it will fry quickly. is it safe just to stay in bios for about 10 minutes or will i ruin my processor? my cases built in temperature monitor was rising pretty quick for the 15 seconds it was on, so didn't want to risk it.

No, do not run your system without the use of a heat sink, no matter what you see the idiots on YouTube doing.

Without a heatsink fan, maybe, but that's risky. Without a heatsink itself, no way. It will fry in a second.

It'll be fine. If you're worried point a floor fan at it or just power the CPU fan from some source other than the motherboard. It's not going to kill itself in 15 minutes.

It is still very risky. I once forgot to plug in my fan on my heatsink and in the BIOS my temps were nearly 90C. I turned my PC off so fast, lol.

It is very risky, without proper airflow the heatsink and CPU will overheat very quickly, your processor is actually running at a high, sporadic load when in the BIOS, and even with a proper HSF your temps will climb very quickly in a few minutes.

Just wait until you get your new heatsink and fan, there's really no point in making those changes now anyways, you can't do anything else and you wont be able to determine if it will be stable or not.

Oh God. It's melting. I can feel it from here. Like the heat of 1000 Suns. Get the kids out of the house, call 911.

the temp gauge went from about 72F to 115F in the 15 seconds, wasnt sure if it would keep climbing at that rate, but wasn't gonna find out either haha.

yeah i'll probably wait it out, i would kill myself if i had to buy something else after i know that its gonna work when the part gets here. thanks for the input all

Most processors these days will automatically shut themselves down before it kills itself.
