Hey everyone! I just built my first PC and I'm waiting for my 9070XT to arrive. In the meantime, I want to check the BIOS to see if everything is working fine. I have a 9800X3D processor paired with an MSI X870P Wi-Fi motherboard. Can I do this without the GPU installed?

You can absolutely do that! The CPU has integrated graphics, so just connect your monitor to the motherboard's DisplayPort or HDMI. Once your 9070XT arrives, just plug the monitor into it and you're set!
It's as simple as plugging your monitor into the motherboard to use the integrated graphics from your CPU. No issues with entering the BIOS!
Totally fine! You should be able to access the BIOS and even update it if needed. You can enable EXPO/XMP configurations there too and install Windows while you're waiting for your GPU.
Awesome news, your PC turned on! That's the first big step! Just a heads up, if the power button is flashing, check your manual—that could mean something depending on the board.
