This is my second build, and I have some experience in IT, and I'm absolutely baffled. I get no POST and a solid red DRAM LED regardless of RAM configuration, etc. I thought the issue may have been the CPU/RAM so I RMA'd both, but the problem persists. The part list follows:
ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor Socket LGA 1151 [BX80662I76700​K],
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX Graphics Card (STRIX-GTX1080​-A8G-GAMING)
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2, 80+ PLATINUM 1000W 220-P2-1000-XR
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
EDIT: Video of the problem here:

I have tried with a mounted cooler on the old CPU but not the new one - I will mount it
