Would this fry the motherboard without the case fans or should it be ok for just testing as I have seen others do it. Obviously with the mainboard still mounted on the case motherboard tray? :)
 
If you have seen others do it that should be a clue :p

Should be absolutely fine, maybe angle a 120mm fan over the northbridge etc if its passive.
 
Ive had my PC like this for like 2 months now.

Though I have a Yate Loon and a Scythe fan where that fan is in the picture resting on my AC 7Pro and the 8800GTS.

Works completely fine.

In my opinion you can't call yourself an overclocker until you've started a PC with the tip of a screwdriver :p .
