Hi Guys

Got my new PC parts today and stupidly assembled everything completely before flicking the power switch - only to find it won't POST and it just keeps restarting.

I've removed EVERYTHING and it's basically......
Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Designare Intel Z170)
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake)
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB)
NZXT Kraken X62 AIO Water Cooling Unit

I removed the RAM and still the same, I get a whirr of the fans on AIO Radiator and the logo appears on the Kraken before it restarts itself with no bleeps. If I remove the usb for Kraken then the same happens, but the fans on radiator go 100%.

I'm kinda stuck and it's either the mobo or the cpu I reckon. Is it worth removing the Kraken, removing CPU, reseat and assemble?
 
Oh dear! Looks like I totally overlooked the CPU power, I don't know how, although it's been years since I assembled a PC. I had already removed the AIO cooler and assembly of it was fine. Put some arctic silver on CPU and fitted AIO and RAM - Boom! She boots

Cheers guys
