I checked the manual but didn't find any details about the LEDs. Examined the debug code and saw a reference to 52. I opened the BIOS and confirmed my RAM was running at 2133MHz, while it's rated for 3200MHz. My setup includes Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8) and the Vengeance lighting kit, with another light positioned behind the RAM.

I understand. My processor is a Ryzen 7 5800x without overclocking.

Yes, I filled the correct positions.

I'll need to verify upon returning. It seems the lighting kit might have been swapped, but the BIOS shows specific RAM slots with details.

Typically boards include indicators like LEDs for CPU, RAM/DDRAM, VGA, and boot status to show errors. Labels next to them can be unclear. Determine what each symbol means. Also, certain BIOS settings disable RAM OC by default, preventing full-speed access—my 5900X initially thought its DDR4-3200 was DDR4-2666 until I adjusted it. Another aspect to verify, particularly for new builds. Edited April 12, 2022 by An0maly_76 Updated, more details

You're planning to experiment with various options. If other choices don't work, you might want to know that G skill is a suitable RAM for Ryzen.

I believe opinions vary a lot here. Personally, I find G.Skill's products a bit over-the-top. My previous setup used plain black Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 in both my older 1700 rig and my latest 5900X, and it performed well.

I checked my exact builds and they had the g skill, which functioned well for them. I thought it would too, probably.

I've got different approaches for each build. My earlier rig came with a preassembled unit packed with 8GB G.Skill memory. It was a common mess of mismatched parts—R7-1700 paired with a GT1030? It was labeled as an SSD, but it wasn't actually there. Upgrading it was a real challenge. The WD Blue HDD was the only exception, and nothing OEM would ever fit in another build I make. I think if CyberPower uses it, it's probably a budget option that barely meets the basics. Just remember, don't expect much from it. This is especially true for anyone using MSI boards.
