probably the easiest way to test if to borrow a cpu from a friend and see what happens.
Recently I was installing a cpu in an albatron board. We normally only use Asus, but unfortunately just about everyone was out of stock. I had the power plugged in for a reason I can't remember.
Anyway, as soon as I pushed down the socket lever, the computer turned on. I was so surprised that by the time I had reacted the magic smoke had already escaped.
