The exterior of the antistatic bag is capable of conducting electricity.
Absolutely, it’s unusual to see such a configuration. It’s likely the CPU isn’t booting without a cooler, though it’s possible the system doesn’t support it. Most setups include the cooler already—those mounting brackets are usually present. Have you tried this with your current components? Do you have a specific cooler in mind? Please share the full specifications for reference.
The top has just one CPU connector—either 4-pin or 8-pin. The other type is the alternative pin configuration. If you run tests, placing a cooler helps prevent overheating within about 20 seconds.
It looks like a fan is connected to the CPU header, which shouldn't cause issues. The system should still function even without a cooler, though it's not ideal. I'm checking if the CPU is receiving power properly.
