It would be worth powering it up without the RAM, it should give beeps (if you have a beeper speaker plugged into the motherboard)

Can I bench test a motherboard and processor without ram?

My ram will be deliver next week because of item unavailability, I want to check my motherboard (gigabyte z170XP-SLI) and processor (core i5 6600k) if they are working or defective. Any help will be much appreciated

Regards

so I can test the motherboard by connecting beeper speaker just to know it has power? would it harm my motherboard by doing that?
