Issue with new build

So I started up a build this evening, and got as far as mounting the Mobo, as well as the watercooler and cpu and PSU. I then went to test and turn the system on, but no joy.

I then tried with just the mobo, and the PSU didn't even spin up the fan when turned on. (tested the PSU with the tester provided and the fan span up, so PSU seems fine)

when i short the board with the two pins, I can see the blue light on the mobo, but still no life on the PSU, and when i attached the case fans to the Mobo and turned on, they didn't come to life.

not sure what to try, but I'm thinking the mobo is faulty? I have removed it from the case and performed a test with it outside the case, and have the same issue.

Any thoughts?

I did try this and still nothing. I even had a spare cmos battery and tried that but no change.

I had only the mobo connected to the powersupply and the case fan and it didnt work. (The cpu is not on the motherboard anymore)
