Mobo: ROG C8H X570 GPU paired with ROG RTX3060Ti, PSU rated at 850W, CPU model 5900X. I only have PCIe split cables; I connected two from the PSU to the GPU. Recently, orange light started flashing under my GPU, but I haven’t overclocked. What does this mean? How can I resolve it? After checking the back of my case, all cables were securely attached. Below are the blinking indicators and orientation details for reference. Help appreciated. LINE_V2022513_215940.mp4

This reminds me of something similar that was mentioned earlier. It might be a status light on the GPU's cooling cover showing through the motherboard.

The status indicator is functioning properly. From the top of the case, I noticed the orange light from the motherboard.

From the video, it's hard to pinpoint the exact location, but it seems like the LED might be related to your HDD activity indicator.

It seems the storage LED is likely the issue. I didn’t experience this before, but it appeared while downloading GTA5 from Steam and browsing in Chrome. They seem to consume a lot of space. My main drive is an M.2 PCIe 2TB SSD, and I transferred the game to a separate 500GB 2.5" SSD.
