Update I got a replacement cpu from Intel. Which worked fine for about a month. Now the same behavior is back. The motherboard power cycles on and off with no beep codes (leds flash fans spin then stop). I have disconnected everything and reset the bios. I had the same mild overclock as before...

Expensive?

Both the old and the new.

Everything has been done outside of the case with all non-essential parts disconnected. I have tried: reseting the bios re-seating the CPU one stick in different slots and without (I haven't tried different ram) different motherboards I even tried the boards without CPUs (nothing happened)...

No beeps with or without ram.

I've just checked with a new PSU and I get the same behavior. I also have attached a speaker. The board powers on and the CPU error light turns on. There are no beeps and no video output. So by processes of elimination it has to be the CPU.

Update time: I replaced the motherboard and got the same behaviour, which now leads me to believe it's the CPU or PSU.

I so I've placed my bet on the motherboard being faulty and bought a replacement, and now I wait for the postman.

I forgot to mention everything is still under warranty, so I'm hopefully I won't have to buy anything. However buying a cheap CPU to test with might be the next step.

I have tested without the memory and didn't change anything. I don't suspect the power supply unless there is something the tester can't detect.

I don't have a speaker so no chirps. Are the error LEDs as reliable as beep codes? And I've re-seated the CPU.

So I have an Asus Z170I Pro Gaming with a 6600K. The first problems I had was the PC would freeze randomly. I could not get a stress test to duplicate the freezing. This happen several times over a week. I went to turn on the computer one morning and it would constantly power cycle on and off...

As Ej24 said you want it on the controller. I added one and temps dropped from 75°C to 31°C. It was a 5mm pad.

Since you're adding support for a 120 AIO, would it be possible to fit a 240mm AIO with no GPU?

I consider the NF-A9x14 silent below 1000rpm and quiet below 1300rpm.
