Just did a test in the meantime by taking out the CPU entirely. The build does the exact same thing; flash of the RGB LEDs and no fans spin. Must be the CPU. Anyone ever experience similar results?

RGB lighting is intergraded to the motherboard, luckily Amazon already shipped out a replacement CPU. Hopefully everything goes well after I implement the replacement.

Well even after breadboxing with either 1 stick of RAM or no RAM at all, I still only get just a flash of the RGB lighting. No fans, no nothin’. I’m going to have to guess it’s the CPU after all.

I do know I installed screws in every available aspect of the board, it may be possible the standoffs are only in certain screw holes, and that the ones without are causing a short along the line :unsure:

Good point, perhaps its the CPU after-all, or some fluke with the case. After I breadboard I guess I'll know.

I just had a thought, not yet available to try but thought I'd ask.... Is it possible I need Standoff screws for the motherboard in order to boot the pc? I just realized I never installed any as I believe my case did not ship with some.

I’ve checked and double-checked the 4-pin connections several times, the board is indeed being supplied power. I am still unable to see a POST even after trying to jump the power switch connection with a screwdriver. Never had a computer act like this before.

Thanks for the sticky, guess I'll need to breadboard each component one-by-one.

Just tested my other power supply with an 8-pin connector, that doesn't seem to be it either. I double-checked the memory and it appears to be in correctly, each stick in slot 2 and 4. Still only seeing on-board RGB, no fans and no POST.

Each slot on the CPU power connections has a 4-pin connector installed, does the 8-pin slot require a 8-pin connector? I believe my PSU only came with two dual 4-pin cables.
