Yesterday I upgraded my brother's machine with an Intel Core i3 12100f, a gigabyte B660M DS3H, and 16 gigabytes of TeamTForce Vulcan Z @ 3200MHz. But when I tried to power it up, none of the fans started, and only the power indicator lit. Everything is connected, the PSU is active, and the power cable is visible. My concern is that the CPU might not be receiving enough power because one of the power cables was defective during setup. So far it hasn't caused issues since his previous CPU used just four pins. I suspect this could be the issue since the motherboard still supplies power and the fans don’t spin when the CPU isn’t running. Please let me know if you agree, or what else might be wrong. Since I don’t have the skills to fix the wiring, I’m considering replacing the PSU. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Occasionally it seems like a joke, but did you set the PWM switch right on the motherboard? Inspect the connections and if you're sure, attempt to power it off by jumping the board.

Confirm all components are securely fastened and check the power supply specifications for wattage.

The PSU is a gigabyte 450br... meaning it delivers 450 watts at 80+ bronze. All connections are secure, including the screws. Even though I’m not very familiar with jumping mobos, if you’re confident the power is flowing through it, doing that could help in some way.
