Finally gathered the money for a new PC with my aging one being left in the dust in recent years. All parts assembled and I go to boot for first time and recieve Q-code 00

Parts List:
I7-6700K CPU
Stock Cooler (Either Evo 212 or HTX100i)
Asus Maximus VIII Hero
Team Dark 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (TDGED416G2400HC14DC01)
GTX 670 FTW Edition
1TB WD BLACK SERIES
120GB KINGSTON SSDNOW
CORSAIR CX600M
PHANTEKS ENTHOO LUXE

I have been going crazy looking at threads and forum posts. Ive tried recommended RAM slots and mixing and matching the slots. Ive tried a boot outside of the case, just the 8-PIN and 24-PIN connected to the mobo. Ive tried the Bios driver installs. I have checked the motherboard pegs in the case, to make sure there isnt an extra peg shorting out the mobo. All still lead to Q-code "00". I'm just searching for an answer or a tips on what seems wrong. I like to think Im not being a complete nub and missing or forgetting something. All help is appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for just taking the time and maybe leaving some input.

Yes, it immediately spools to 100%. Leading me to believe its a defect CPU.
