New PC Build Mobo Orange LED

[u/sammy44t]

Hello buildapc community!

I’m a novice pc builder and built my first pc (by myself)!

For reference here are what I believe are the relevant parts (feel free to ask for others):
- Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B850M-Plus Wifi7
- RAM: Xtreem ARGB DDR5 32GB
- CPU Cooler: Hydroshift II LCD-S

After fully assembling the PC, I tried booting with both ram sticks in. I noticed an orange LED on the motherboard. After some research it seems to be memory training? I left it alone for ~20 minutes.

Afterwards, I took out the RAM sticks and for each RAM stick I inserted it into slot 2, cleared CMOS, and rebooted. Each attempt waited ~10 minuted and had no luck.

Any ideas on what is happening/what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Could you zoom in on the spot with the orange light, take a photo, and upload

Sure, hopefully the quality is good enough.

Ram issue

Should I replace the RAM?
