    Does a computer without a processor have the right to turn on? I have a new board Asus P5G41T-M LX3 and I don't have a prock yet. The platform does not turn on (no reaction: the drive does not turn on, the fans do not work). I heard that some motherboards without a CPU won't boot because it won't complete the circuit. Could this be the case with this tile?

    Do not even try to turn on the motherboard without a processor, because you can miscalculate ...

    Why do you want to run the board without a CPU?

    Maybe he wants to play games that use 0 CPUs :D but the question is good.

    You have not closed one more thread on the same topic, and you have already opened the second one, you think that you will get help sooner.

    You just want to ask if the board can be damaged, since without a processor, nothing happens when I press the power button. And the drives and fans should turn on, but nothing here. The power supply is working like all other components.

    The question asked in the title of the topic is not so stupid. After all, the author does not ask "will I run Windows without a processor". With today's level of technology, it should be possible that the motherboard signals (even via a PC speaker) the lack of a processor, memory modules, etc. Meanwhile, in most such cases, the boards are "dead" (although functional). Why is it not technically possible to check the efficiency of the board in the absence of a CPU? Are CPUs added to motherboards for free, that it's such a nonsense to run the motherboard without a CPU?
    Let's imagine a modern computer monitor, which is not connected to the computer and displays nothing (not even the word "No signal"). Today unthinkable, right?
    It used to be said that a well-designed device should be resistant to human stupidity (sorry to the author of the topic, this is not a personal objection, it's about a principle). Has anything changed in this regard?

    There I asked if the loudspeaker is speaking when there is no / is damaged processor. In this I ask whether the computer without a processor will turn on at all (disks, fans will work). And that it does not turn on - no response to the power button, I suspect that the board is damaged.

    For my computer (gigabyte p43 es-3g board and intel core 2 duo e4600):
    power supply connected to the motherboard (24pin plug) and power supply to the board 12V.
    The CPU heat sink is attached to the board.
    No processor, no frame, no graphics - naked.
    EFFECT: power supply started, cpu heat sink.
    But I would be afraid to hold on like that longer.
    After 5 seconds I turned it off.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the Asus P5G41T-M LX3 motherboard and whether it can power on without a processor. Users express concerns about the motherboard's functionality in the absence of a CPU, noting that many motherboards do not complete the power-on circuit without one, leading to no response when the power button is pressed. Some participants question the rationale behind wanting to power a motherboard without a CPU, while others share experiences with different motherboards, indicating that some may show signs of life (like powering fans) even without a CPU. The consensus suggests that attempting to power on the motherboard without a processor is not advisable, as it may not function correctly and could potentially lead to damage.
