Power on pc without cpu?

[Master_Assassin79]

I was just curious and wanted to ask, what would happen you were to turn on a pc without a cpu inside? Also would it be dangerous to leave the 8pin power for the cpu in the motherboard whilst doing this?

The case fans would spin, if connected. No other result.

So there would be no damage to the cpu socket if the 8pin power connector was left inside?

No.

Yes you can do it. Also nothing will happen with the cpu socket.

It won't prove anything either.
