My motherboard and powersupply came in today. I'm just wondering if i can see if they work. Is it safe for me to turn the computer on with no cpu or memory??

It will not even turn on, so keep your panties on and wait for CPU and RAM... :eek: ;) :D
 
put a paper clip in the green & (any) black connector for the 20/24 pin power connector, and you will be able to turn the PSU on.

You can't do anything with the motherboard, leave it alone, until you get the CPU, ram & videocard (or not if its integrated).

One more thing. Is a magnetized screwdriver safe for screwing in a motherboard?

Yup... Been using one for years...
Now it's not good when the screwdriver becomes magnetized while puting the mobo in.. ie. PC running while you screw mobo down... :eek: :D

Oh man I know I have, and believe me, it wasnt the motherboard my folks were worried about, it was the fact of weither of not I was going to come out of a 3 day coma and having 2nd degree burns up and down my right arm.... ( no joke)

Technically you can't win since you didn't kill yourself.
