Time for some basic PC troubleshooting steps.  First simplify your hardware config to  the minimum required set of parts to boot.  I presume you can boot up with just one PSU with minimum hardware config?  Can you boot with both PSUs connected?  With expander board?, with just one RX 570?, etc.. 

I think your right.  everything in this rig is suspect right now.   I am not sure how much stuff I burned up.  I am going to get out a fresh MB and PSU and test cards one by one to see what i have left.  then I will test the old PSU one by one.  Then I will try something different.  this is the second time I have done this now with this rig.  I personally think its either the coolermaster somehow doesnt play nice or the expander board and the Asus Z270AR dont play nice.  It was a major burnout though....not good at all.  All this money sitting here idle now.  Angry
