(I have already looked at the sticky beforehand and i tried setting up everything in and outside of the case and I have received the same result).

So I got all my parts for my first build yesterday and I decided to put it all together, and when I turn on my PSU and everything is connected, the blue power light on my case will show up, but none of the fans work and no beeps occur either, and nothing shows up on my monitor either. However when I did the paper clip test with my PSU, the fan worked with that, but when i connect it to my motherboard, nothing works, so i'm curious if this is a motherboard problem or if there is another problem that i'm not seeing. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Here are my specs btw

There are two methods for connecting fans. One is to the motherboard and the other is directly to the PSU (a fatter usually 4-pin cable). Try connecting them to the PSU and see if they run. Also make sure they are fully plugged in. I find it hard to believe all the fans won't work when plugged into the motherboard. I would check everything - make sure the CPU power cable is connected, make sure there is no short (ensure that the motherboard is properly placed on the standoffs).
 


There are no other places where I can connect the fans to my PSU unless i'm just not looking in the right place, and i only have three standoffs, so i'm not sure if i was supposed to have more than that or not
