Question ASRock X570 - - -the DRAM Debug LED shows a faint glow, is the LED dying ?

[rounakr94]

Just noticed today that the DRAM Debug LED is glowing faintly, and by faintly I mean that its not the full brightness glow which happens when PC is at POST phase.

Is this a dying LED or is something else wrong here?

All my memory sticks are detected with proper XMP and dual channel and PC is working like normal.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 3500
Asrock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 Bios 4.20
G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz 32gb (8gb x4)
MSI Mech 2X RX6600
Deepcool AK620 WH
Deepcool CK500 WH
Kingston A2000 250gb + WD Blue 1tb HDD, Sn550 1tb + MX500 1000gb
Antec EAG Pro 750 80+G
Benq Mobiuz EX2510

I think it's more likely to suspect the LED's driver circuit is failing but in either case it's a concern. Try swapping memory DIMM's just to see what happens. If it goes out great, although I'd still be a bit worried since I'm not sure why it would do that.

If it doesn't go out and the board is still in warranty I'd contact tech Asrock tech support and see about a replacement. But before doing that run some memory stability tests: click in the SEARCH box then type in MEMORY DIAGNOSTICS, click on the app in the list to reboot and run it. That gives you some ammo when saying there's nothing wrong with the memory but it's still doing this.

Also one more thing to mention, the LED sometimes flickers. But still I will run a full system stress including memory
