Did I just buy a dead cpu?

[lost.at.tat]

So I’ve just started building a pc and have only the basics installed which should allow me to enter the bios but alas after all the troubleshooting I still can not get it to boot for more than half a second..

All brand new gear..
MB: Gigabyte B360M D3H
CPU: Intel i7 770
AIO: fractal celsius s24
RAM:
Corsair Vengeance RGB (2x8GB) 2666MHz
PSU Thermaltake 600w

Am I right to suspect it’s the cpu as the pc will run fans, aio cooling, and have RAM lights going when only the 24 pin is plugged in? When both 24 and 2x4 cpu power are attached all fail in less than a second..

Any ideas???
Cheers!

What exactly is the i7-770?

If you mean 7700, it is not meant to be compatible with a B360 board. They do not work together.

I think you mean i7-7700??

If so, that's not going to work on that motherboard. Intel 7th-gen CPUs work on 100 and 200 series chipset motherboards while 300 series chipset motherboard are compatible with 8th-gen CPUs such as i7-8700.
