Question Asus H270 Plus help

[stugots2]

So I'm not new to building systems, I have built over 50 in my life. I'm building one with an Asus H270 plus, a weak cheap system just for book keeping.. I can NOT get this thing to power on!!!! Paperclip test NOTHING. So I figure the board is shot so I go buy another one... SAME THING... are the pins just weird on this thing?

Please help

Asus H270 plus MB

Crucial 120 GB SSD

Crucial DDR2 Ram 12GB

RX1000 PSU but I have tried about 5 others because at first I thought that was the issue

 

[rgd1101]

ddr2? 12gb ram?

 

[stugots2]

sorry Typo DDR4 2133.

I have narrowed it down to either BOTH of the exact same board are not only shot but shot in the exact same way (less likely) or there is something very odd / weird about the pins / jumpers on this board, I have now tried, 2 MB's. 3 different CPU's, FIVE PSU's, 1 HDD and 1 SSD, different RAM and different RAM slots

so the only thing that did change is the mobo? rma it

No I had the board for awhile, I bought another one on Ebay (Same board) and this board is doing the SAME thing.. Boards are way too old to RMA

Found the issue, this sensitive PITA board did not like the brass backings... swapped em and BOTH boards power now
