Well, thank you friend.
Amazon is shipping a new one to me that I should have Monday.

yes. That pin is your problem. Sorry man but I have seen hundreds and that is clearly bent. It is dangerous to connect anything as if the bent pin makes contact with another you risk shorting the cpu or other components.
You could google the pinout for your specific socket. If every pin around that was ground you'd be safe. However, I do not think this is the case. They make special clips for installing intel cpu's. Most likely debris was on the bottom of the cpu when installed. Contact the manufacturer and see what they say.

So when connecting the monitor to the rig am I connecting it using the onboard VGA or through one of the video cards?
As for the pin, it seems one of them is either sticking out, missing or pushed down. I cant tell. I've enclosed a picture. I dont know how this could have happened by my hand, at all. And if it did, then these things are far more delicate than I ever imagined because I was SUPER careful every step of the way through this project.

I bought it new from Amazon and from what I've read this particular motherboard is prone to showing up with bent pins out of the box.
I repair and replace lga sockets for a living. No motherboard comes with bent pins. The manufacturing makes this impossible. If you bent the pins out of ignorance just contact the board manufacturer. Pay their fee for repair and send it back. Due to the increase in network diff your roi for 1070 is over 15 months at 12 cents a kw. Does the board having the 3 PCIE cards for the 3 GPU's that aren't actually there pose a problem?
And for the GPU's that are there, do they need to be on the board 1, 2, 3? Because right now I have them in PCIE slots 1, 3, 5.

i wouldnt have anything connected that isnt being used.
when firing up dont have all the GPUs connected, only have 1 in the first pci slot and the rest disconnected.
add one gpu at a time... after the first one has been installed and working properly with the latest drivers, do a complete restart, rinse and repeat until all cards have been done.
bent pins? thats already a big no no, return board, in most cases your unable to bend them back into place since its really sensitive.
if your not able to see anything when booting, that mb is going through some serious issues (cpu pins possibly main issue), u can try removing the ram one by one and trying different combinations, even remove all the gpus and use integrated to see if anything changes.

it looks like there is either a bent or missing pin in the pin bed the CPU lays down in.. Any advice on that?
That does not sound good at all. Did you buy the motherboard new or used? If new, I would suggest trying to send it back right away, as both sellers and manufacturers are wary of honoring the warranty on motherboards with bent CPU socket pins. You could perhaps try to claim it was bent when you received it, which it may have been.
Good to know about the Power Supply fan!
So, I removed all of the risers from the motherboard and got the same thing.
I read the MB manual and noticed the Ram was in the wrong slot so I changed that, but it didnt change anything.
I haven't changed anything in the bios because I cant even boot into it yet.
I finally plugged everything back in and tried again after re-seating everything, same thing, I just get the VGA red light on the MB...
Then I pulled off the fan/heat sink from the CPU and took that out to check it and unless it's how its supposed to be, it looks like there is either a bent or missing pin in the pin bed the CPU lays down in.. Any advice on that?

PSU fan stopping is not an issue. Corsair PSU fan only run if the PSU gets higher than 50°C.
I always plug in only 1 GPU to install the OS, then plug in the others one by one. Never had any issues like this. Also, you already plugged in all 6 risers, did you already activate 4G encoding in Bios, and PCIe Link Speed to Gen1? Even without GPUs installed, you occupied all PCIe slots, so it probably won't run without those settings. Or just unplug those risers and try again with only 1 GPU.

They don't need to be in some exact pcie lanes, taking the gpus off is just a way to corner your error, if it still doesn't run even with no gpus, then it is probably not the gpus causing the fault

Have you tried checking other cables? this used to happen to me and the 24pin atx cable of the motherboard was at fault there, if your mobo supports onboard gpu, try disconnecting the gpus then restarting, if it works add GPUs, if one makes it do this thing try connecting it to a different pcie lane or with a diffetent risers, if without GPUs nothing work, then its definitely either the cables of the mobo/cpu or you bent some pins in your motherboard. Hopefully you didn't though.
I just finished setting up my Eth mining rig.
Got everything plugged in, installed and ready to rock!
Its a 6 GPU setup but I only have 3 GPUs currently.
So, I turn on the PSU, kick start the board and everything chimes up! PSU fan starts, GPU's light up with fans going...then the PSU fan stops and the monitor never came on.
No beeps of any kind.
I'm scared and wondering what could be happening.
I've included some pictures in case that helps at all.
The Rig I've been building is http://www.coinminingrigs.com/how-to-build-a-6-gpu-mining-rig/comment-page-2/#comment-311955
However, I'm running 3 GTX 1070 Founders Edition cards instead and my power supply is a Corsair Platinumm 1,000 W.
