Hi all,
This is my first post here and i have a question or a couple of questions that i hope ye can help me with in regards to installing and testing my Psu .

Im currently in the middle of my first build and i am 'bread boarding' up components.

My question is:

Should my motherboard turn on even if no cpu is installed? My power indicator stays red but when i push it, it dosnt turn green also my TPU and epu lights are on.

Should the inbuilt leds and fan on my psu come on even though my motherboard isnt on?

Also do i just connect the fans on my case to the 4-pin connectors coming out of my PSU?

Specs:
Motherboard - Asus P8Z68-V B
PSU-Corsair GS600
RAM- Corsair Vengance
Disk Drive-Asus DRW-24B3LT

Please and Thanks
 
To get it to turn on you will probably need to have the PSU stuck into both places on the motherboard and the CPU and RAM both in.

With those things, the fans should turn on and stay on for the processor heat sink.
 

Why don't you install a CPU to make sure that all components work properly?
