Motherboard power led missing

[skyguy126]

Just finished my build using a msi gaming 3 motherboard. I plugged it in and the system works fine but there is no power led lighting up on the motherboard. Is this normal?

Do you mean an LED on the motherboard itself or a front panel LED?

The led on the motherboard itself

It's not normal. I don't know if your motherboard is special and doesn't have one (I think it should have one).

The big question is, does it matter? If your system runs flawlessly without it I'd have to say no. All the LED is telling you is that there is power going to the motherboard.
