Attempted to change color after trying to adjust it.
I tried to overclock my Ryzen 7 3700x while watching some YouTube guides. After leaving the PC and restarting, the BIOS light stayed red when I powered it back on. I attempted CMOS resets and then swapped in my old Ryzen 5 2600x, which worked fine. Is this meaning my Ryzen 7 is not functioning properly?
Uncertain about it. I'm checking if the BIOS went back to an earlier configuration after a failed update, which is actually a previous version. After installing the 2600, update the BIOS and attempt the 3700x once more.
Make sure you clear your BIOS settings too, as overloading the CPU likely caused it to fail. Replace the 3700 and take out the battery from your BIOS. Keep the power button on your case for 30 seconds twice while the PSU is unplugged; the system should work fine.
Ohhhh these problems might come from the Rzen master still holding onto the OC profile set on the chip. Remove Ryzen Master before reinstalling the 3700... When uninstalling, it should prompt whether you want to remove all user settings—yes if you do. Restart from the beginning. Or before uninstalling, you can try deleting the chip profile.
Try resetting the CMOS in this way:
Disconnect the PC from the power source.
After that, hold the Power Button for a minimum of 30 seconds.
(The internal ROG LEDs may briefly flash after 20-30 seconds to confirm all power has been removed.)
Use a flat-headed screwdriver to connect the CLR CMOS jumper (touch both pins together) for at least 15 seconds.
The position of the CLRTC jumper is indicated on page 1-2 here:

Reconnect the PC and press the Power Button to start it.
Press the DEL key repeatedly.
A menu should appear prompting you to press the F1 key, then do so.
Adjust the Optimized Default settings and click OK (found in the EXIT tab).
Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
Enter the BIOS via the DEL key again, modify any desired settings, then save and exit once more.
