The PSU is functioning but isn't compatible with LGA 1155 despite all connections being made. This might be due to it being too recent and not yet supported.

The PSU is confirmed to be functioning properly.
It's well established that the PSU and all other green-labeled Corsair units tend to fail, so you should replace the unit.
It doesn't connect with LGA 1155 even though everything appears powered on.
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide complete system specifications. Include details such as:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Add the PSU's age along with its make and model. Also, note the current BIOS version for your motherboard.

I'll look at the BIOS upon returning, to verify the version, is there a method involving pressing F12 during startup?

If the CX 600M functions — though the term "works" is being used loosely due to its low quality — it shouldn’t face unique issues with older equipment. After all, it’s an outdated power supply, last made ten years ago. The concern lies in the fact that the PSU itself might be the root cause, even though it’s not immediately clear what your issue is (you haven’t provided much detail).

I used the system with a previous alpine 700w model, and it functioned properly. After unplugging the cx600m, I reconnected the alpine unit and everything operated as expected.
It seems the CX600M is now fully operational.

The issue is that the computer fails to power on within that setup
