He's checking if his new CPU works with the motherboard's BIOS before the case arrives. He wants to confirm compatibility and avoid needing an older CPU later. He's also worried about damaging the board by shorting power pins, though he thinks it's unlikely. The build is likely ASUS Z690 with a 13700K CPU.

I checked the entire bank of pins for the PWR pair and everything looks good. They’re typically current-limited or have low-current operation.
