Have a thermaltake 4pin molex plugged to battery and all fans running to it. There is no cpu, storage, or ram yet just wanted to see how it will look, however no dice. No fans or lights turn on. fan to battery doesn't turn on either. I would chalk it up to bad hub, bad molex, but I tested both on another pc and 1 of my fans as well. So I thaught battery but I plugged the 24 pin in and I get rgb on the back of the board running , so I don't know. Do I need a new battery, what is the malfunction!? Thanx
 
Solution
Some boards will not cut on without the CPU installed.
Remove all power going to the motherboard and use a paperclip to start the power dupply.
Just google psu paperclip test.
