Hi there

I recently built a new PC, using a ASUS Z790-A mobo with an Intel i7 13700k (Bought it before all these issues came to light), 32GB DDR5, GeForce RTX 3070, Samsung 980 1TB M.2 with a Noctua D15 cooler.

But ever since I built it, the Q-LED light is on as pictured, I gather it's for the GPU, but it runs fine? In fact the PC runs fine across the board.

Do you guys have any idea why it's on?

EDIT: I just want to note that sometimes when I boot, the light is not on.

That's the VGA LED, what is the make and model of your PSU? Might want to also check to see if your power connectors are fully seated for your GPU.

You might want to see if there are any BIOS updates pending for your motherboard. If you do have an update, flash to the latest BIOS version, then clear the CMOS once you've verified the BIOS was flashed successfully.

In order to clear the CMOS, disconnect from the wall and display, remove the CMOS battery, press and hold down the power button for 30secs, then replace the battery after
