Hi everyone, kind of a noob question, I think. I'm building my PC with a 13600K on a MSI Pro B660M-A, but when I tried to turn it on, nothing happened. Not even any fans spinning, the power LEDs not blinking, just nothing. I checked all the connections (24 pin, 8 pin for CPU, 4 pin for CPU and CPU fan connector) and everything seemed fine. I know that there are BIOS versions that don't support the 13th gen Intel CPUs, can that be the problem or is it more likely to be anything else? Lots of thanks for any help in advance!

It’s very probable the board lacks a suitable BIOS. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threa...pu.379775/

That clarifies the issue. The PC isn't showing any output at all, which is different from what you'd expect with fan activity or BIOS access.

If there are no lights or anything, ensure you have strong power going to the PSU. Try using a different power outlet in your home. If the PSU has a built-in self-test, activate it and confirm it’s functioning. In an emergency, use a paperclip to short the sensor wire to ground—this mimics the tester function. On older PSUs, the green wire is typically used; newer models often have a single color. Check the ATX standards to find the correct pin, but be very careful when doing this.
