I was doing everything very carefully and I'm sure I didn't plug it wrong side. I decided to send everything back and ask them for assembling it.
Thanks all you guys for very quick help!

Have you tried clearing CMOS? I know it's an obvious question but we have to ask.
Things I can think of that could cause this are: DOA power supply A short somewhere DOA board DOA CPU Bad RAM As you can see, based on what we know so far, we haven't ruled out much. Power is always my first step after checking connections. Then rule out shorts or jumped clear CMOS pins (if the jumper is in the clear position the system will not power up). Basically do what you can by process of elimination to rule out each of the major components. This is very difficult without spare parts and is one of the major down sides of building your own systems. Generally it all goes smoothly out the box but when there is a problem it can be all but impossible to resolve without being able to test components individually

Does this indicate problem with motherboard, case or PSU. Unfortunately I don't have spare units to replace each of them and try.

I tried all this before posting the initial query.
1. I made sure both power connectors are properly set 2. Tried without case fans connected 3. Run the test with motherboard outside the case 4. Removed CPU and looked for bend pins 5. Tried with memory in slots 1,2, 3 Every time same behavior. Or LED blinking in blue, quite slowly. PSU is 650W so I guess shouldn't be an issue. I'm unable to find information confirming that my memory is not compatible. Corsair site says that memory is compatible with x99 and x100. Does this mean it is not good for z270? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-lpx-16gb-1x16gb-ddr4-dram-2400mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m1a2400c16 |

At this point the more concerning point is that the case fans attached to the board are not spinning up while the CPU fan is. This to me indicates another problem, the RAM could well be incompatible but it should not behave in that way even if the RAM is not supported.

Power not getting to the case fans but getting to the CPU fan is very odd.
Try disconnecting all the case fans and leaving just the CPU fan connected. If there is some kind of short on the case fans it could be causing safety features to kick in. If that does not work I would try with another PSU, it is also a good idea to take the board out of the case and bench run it. Check for any motherboard standoffs in the wrong places or any other things under the board that could cause a short (loose screws etc).
