    It was long ago but I was this dumbass. I kept reading online people said a fan was optional and didn’t understand they meant a case fan not a CPU fan so I built everything and couldnt figure out why it wouldn’t turn on. Realized fairly quickly and bought one and everything worked after that

      Technically, a CPU fan is also optional but you need to provide some other cooling (water pump?) or accept massive throttling.
