Testing components before loop. question.

[ratters]

I plan to buy several new bits mb cpu and two graphics cards. I have seen on some guides you should test you compents before you put them under water, to save yourself hassle on any doa bits and bobs.

I plan to buy an OEM 5820 and two 980ti wc editions How can i go about testing these as I will have no air cooling do i just have to bite the bullet and build my loop with these bits in it ?

Cheers for any pointers

just buy a cheap aircooler and use that for testing,its usefull to have an aircooled heastsink lying about anyways,just incase you run into any problems with your WC setup.

I still have my 212 Evo sitting around for such things. Since your gpus are wc edition only, you may want to do a quick loop using a single rad and spare tubing to test them.
