New build and it boots to bios without pushing delete key. All new hardware. No OS installed yet. Boot order set to Optical drive, SSD, Hard drive. No American Megatrends screen first. Just goes straight to Bios set up. This does not seem right to me. I am using a older board Asus Z97-E USB3.1. I read somewhere about having the CPU fan headers connected wrong might cause this. I have a Fractile pump and radiator installed. I don't want to install Windows till I am sure about this. Please any help will be appreciated. I know there is alot of posted questions on this subject but not about this specific problem. Thank You.

It would typically only show that American Megatrends splash screen if there was an error (like having the cpu cooler plugged into the wrong spot). If there is no error it'll just go straight to BIOS.
