Planning my all-out build finally. The last piece, the ncase m1 is on the way and will be here in 2 days. I was hoping I could get some tips and tricks for the build?
I plan to build a custom Water loop in the case after watching optimum tech videos. I have purchased all the parts. I'll try to find time to make a full kit list. It's almost 100 items.
2 quick questions I immediately have

1. I want to build the system and turn it on, test it etc before building the water loop. I don't have an AM4 cooler to hand. Can I use the cpu without a cooler?
2. I plan to have 4 fans inside the case. 2 for each rad. Do I connect them all to the CPU fan header with a splitter or to the case fans? I want to control the fan curve from the bios


A few of the kit list below.
Asus X570 I-gaming
Ryzen 3950x
64 GB 4000mhz Royal trident
ASUS 1080ti turbo with waterblock
Cosair sf750
10GB SFP+ nic
Adt m.2 to 16x pcie riser for the nic

Loads of premium watercooling parts
2 rads
Noctua fans
Ice reservoir and ddc
Ek torque compression fittings
Alphacool quick release
Alphacool cpu block
I'll take a pic of all parts before the build.
