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.
