Gigabyte's software is quite uncooperative generally and there have been reported RGB issues with the Aorus software with recent cards. I've personally had occasional issues with getting my Gigabyte 3070 to show up in RGB Fusion (on my old rig). Note that you may be waiting for a while to get a replacement getting the production problems, if you RMA it. I'd recommend not worrying about until such time as an RMA wouldn't leave you without a card for a month.

definately not the psu.. i just replaced the psu right now with a 750 watts one.. seasonsics s11 bronze.

while i was taking the system apart..

i noticed all the plugs were complete on teh gpu board.. so it must definately beeee a defective LED.. or a software issue of some sort..

ive updated the bios to the to latest one.. still no lights..
