I recently bout a B850M-X WiFi motherboard, i'm making my self and the CPU doesn't come in, in like 2 more weeks so i have the PSU and plunged it into the motherboard to see if the chaise fans would work and i don't, i did the paperclip method with the PSU and the PSU so i'm wondering if it needs a CPU for the power ------------- E.H |

Yes, in most cases a board won't power up without a CPU installed. There are some exceptions but if your board isn't then it likely can't. -------------
