No mobo can boot without a CPU. Some of the mobos that are coming out today have a feature that enables them to go into bios without a CPU, but no AMD mobo that I know of have this feature yet.

Thread Starter 
before i did this, i have the feeling that my cpu got burned out since the stock fan on AMD stock cooler melted and the FINS of the cooler is insanely hot. i only did that to test if my board will still power up and to my surprise all fans, leds, gpu, hdd and odd are still working.
