PC will only turn on with cmos reset??

Any ideas? I've updated bios and changed cmos battery.

Was working fine until I put it into a new case :/

5820k
Asus x99s
Titan x Maxwell
Corsair ddr4 16gb
Corsair h1000i psu

Try taking all the components out of the case and booting up on an open test bench.

That is something I'm trying to avoid as it's quite a tight watercooled loop.

You tried removing the battery for a minute and putting it back in?

Yea, I did that overnight.

Wehn I do clear cmos I get this;

"Please enter setup to recover bios setting.
When raid configuration was built, ensure to set sata configuration to raid mode.
Press f1 to run setup."

Might be wrong but if you have more than 1 ssd/hd, maybe try removing all of them apart from the one that will have Windows installed on it. I might not be right but it seems like a drive boot issue to me.

Funny the only thing I changed was a SSD but I've tried with and without and just the original one but no avail.

I think you're going to have to remove the board, CPU, GPU and the ram from the case and test on a bench as someone else said, it sounds like a short to me, the only way to find out is build basic components out of the case, can you not get those few parts out without removing all the watercooling ? ie just remove the CPU block and slide it all out, you can maybe just use the stock cooler to test it on a bench ???

How old was the blister pack of batteries?

If it was an old pack at the back of a draw you may have replaced a flat battery for another.
