Hey guys.

I noticed there is a RED light on my motherboard ( MSI B350 )  but it's not one of EZ DEBUG LED lights.

There is even a RED light under bottom left corner of my motherboard.

 

Can someone help?

Can you see anything printed on the PCB?  Might indicate what the light is for.  Could just be a power indicator.

Is your system booting normally? Do you see any actual problems running games or other software? Any crashes or bsod ??
If not that means there is nothing to worry about and most likely it’s only indicator of power going to mobo.

Well I got a GTX 1070 8gb and Ryzen 5 1600 with memory of 8gb 2400 MHz and sometimes decent games like CS GO on lower settings lag. Like I aint getting what I should with GTX 1070 even on medium settings. In other games aswell :/.

Single channel or dual channel? Also 2400mhz is quite low, Ryzen prefers higher speeds ram so this may be the problem in your case
