I have a few Core i7 CPU I have received from a friend.

I can't build any systems for another 2 months, but I want to test the processors just to make sure they are in working order.

A simple boot into bios would be good enough I feel just to verify they work.

Will I need to install the heatsink each time to test each one or would a 1 min run time be safe without the heatsink ....

Don't want to damage the CPU with testing ...
