Hello
My motherboard is a Z170A MSI Gaming Pro, and I have everything I need for my build except the CPU -- The RAM will be arriving on Monday. Since I cannot foresee if my build is a successfully working rig, I only have the option of checking for various signs of life on the motherboard.
PSU: Corsair HX1000i Platinum
Mobo: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
GPU: GTX 980 Ti (not installed)
RAM: Hyper X Fury DDR4 2600mhz (not installed/or arrived yet)
CPU: Intel i7 6700K (not arrived yet)
All of the parts are expected to be ordered by the 18th September, when I get enough cash to purchase everything, but right now its not possible to boot the system, and I've currently got all of the case button/LED/USB cables connected along with all the PSU connections and the HDD boots, the fan boots, the mobo LEDs light up, but I don't get any beeps from the little speaker. I've checked that the polarity terminals are correct, but still no beeps. Is this normal? Will the motherboard not beep if the CPU (and RAM) aren't present?
There is also no light on the power/HDD activity lights, even though the power button works. Is that normal?
I'm just a little paranoid, because of the limited 2 week warranty. Please can I get some feedback on this.. Thanks!
