So I built my first PC without a GPU. Turned it on, CPU fan spinning, no issues that I'm aware of. I'm trying to get into the BIOS now and I plugged the HDMI cable in the motherboard, but I'm not getting any signal on the monitor. I double checked the cable with another PC and it works fine.

Case: NZXT H210
Motherboard: ASUS Prime H410i-Plus/CSM Mini-ITX
CPU: Intel Core i5-11400
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16 GB 3600 MHz
PSU: Corsair SF450 Modular
SSD: Samsung 980 500GB

Edit: Yeah, I just realized this is a standard no POST issue, so I just gotta check everything..
 
Check for things like RAM seating. They are stiff when new and it doesn't take much for them to be a nano from full insertion. Also don't try to get into the BIOS before the message if you hit F2 or del to early it leads to a black screen. I just had both of these in my recent build..I hadn't seen the early F2 before.
 
According to the ASUS site the ASUS Prime H410i-Plus doesn't list any support for the 11th Gen CPUs

Yep no H410 motherboards support Rocket Lake only Comet Lake (Gen 10). You want an H510, H570 or B560 for a non-overclockable i5-11400.
