Hello guys. Im building my first pc and I have some questions.  But first I'll say my specs  CPU (5000 series) still waiting to be released, Cpu cooler ( arctic freezer ii 360), storage (m.2 nvme wd 1tb) still waiting on my samsung 980 pro for faster storage, PSU ( Corsair rm850x), RAM ( G skill royal 2x 8gb 3600hz), Case (Lian li dynamic), Motherboard ( Asrock Taichi x570), GPU (RTX 2060 super).  I think that is everything.  

 

So my question is, if I install everything and with out a cpu would the rams rgb light up? Or should I wait till I get my cpu (ryzen 5000 series)?  Only the Motherboards light will work but not the rams.  Im just trying to build it in advance so after I get my cpu it will be just plug and play.  Is that normal?  With out a cpu the rams won't light up.  But I haven't connected it to a monitor yet so I dont know yet if its working or not.  

 

Thank you for your answer guys.   Sorry about my grammar.  Hopefully its understandable

it wont display, or even post without the cpu, so i wouldn't bother with display. ram might light up without cpu, depends on the board, but i wouldn't give it a second thought until you try it with the cpu installed.
