I have my mobo, cpu/heatsink, ram, psu connected in a system without a graphics card or hdd at the moment.

It powers on with the cpu fan spinning and lights on the mobo but i dont hear any beeps to tell me there isnt a graphics card like i expected.

Should i be hearing some kind of beep? And if i should, any idea what could be wrong?

thanks in advance

I dont have a case speaker installed as far as im aware... i thought all mobos came with things that make beep sounds...

could that be the problem? lol

Im sure my P5Q came with a speaker, you have to connect it yourself tho

Well if you have to connect it yourself... then I haven't. So that's good news.

I didn't see anything in the box, been looking.

Could you shed some more light on this connect it yourself speaker?

Just for closure...

Asus boards never come with an on-board speaker it seems and my P182 case didn't come with one either. So no beeps for me.

A quick clear of the RTM cache sorted everything out though and now I have an awesome system.
