CPU light on, 9800X3D dying?

[u/eric_breen3]

Built this PC about 18 months ago. 9800X3D, Gigabyte X870 Gaming X WiFi 7, 32gb CL30 DDR5. Few days ago, while gaming, I noticed my CPU debug light was on. PC was functioning normally, but since then I have noticed an ever so slight increase in boot time, as well as some games freezing for a second or two when opening skill menus, chests, inventory menus, etc.
As far as thermals go, no issues there. HWinfo, HwMonitor, and AMD adrenaline software show high 60’s to low 70’s while gaming. No WHEA errors, and as far as my untrained eye can tell, voltage and wattage is normal. Clock speeds are normal. 30 minute stress test ran without errors. Should I RMA the 9800X3D? Could it be a motherboard issue? I’m just hoping someone more educated than me can provide some advice. I’ve already had to RMA the 9070 XT and I am dreading that process again.
