If you are using a 5820K that is supported from day one no need to update the bios. Did you do the same step the OP did by checking things like the CPU socket for bent pins and what memory are you running?

JamesV:
Yes, agreed that was what I was led to believe.   No obvious CPU bent pins, tried both Corsair vengeance LPX and Kingston hyperx fury 32GB kits (4x8) DDR4 2666Mhz individual sticks in each grey slot per support.   Still no splash screen or post.

The CPU only really supports 2133 memory. Yes it should default 2133 but I would try a stick 2133 memory to see if it will boot.  Plus did you check the support list for your memory because the Kingston isn't on the support list.

From what I can find, this board, GA-X99P-SLI doesn't have the "Q-Flash Plus" feature. It only has regular Q-Flash which requires an already compatible CPU in order to update BIOS. I guess someone at Gigabyte made the poor decision to offset the cost of adding Thunderbolt™ 3 by stripping the "Q-Flash Plus" feature. This, with the addition of reinforced PCIe slots seems to be the only differences between the GA-X99-SLI and the GA-X99P-SLI that I can see.   

Put simply, Retailers should not be bundling this board with Broadwell-E chips if the board won't work with them out of the box. 

I have not been able to find any PC support providers locally who have a compatible chip, so I have no choice but to request an RMA from Gigabyte. If Gigabyte denies my RMA for a BIOS update, I will just have to return it to Newegg for a refund and buy a different board.

JamesV:
Apologize for hijacking thread.   Memory recommendation was from support ticket and still cannot get MB to post with compatible CPU.  Looks like I am in same boat.   Cheers
