I'm working on my first PC build and I'm running into issues with it not posting. Here's what I'm using:
1) Teamgroup Tforce Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 RAM (Model: FF3D532G6000HC30DC01)
2) Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX (Rev 1.3)
I checked on PCPartPicker and it said they should be compatible, so I didn't think much of it during the order, apart from the throughput and latency. However, after trying to boot, I noticed that while Teamgroup's website says the RAM is compatible with the motherboard and the AMD 9000 series CPU, Gigabyte's site doesn't list this specific RAM model in its supported components.
I've contacted Gigabyte for clarification, but I'm wondering if the RAM being unsupported could be causing my system not to post. I'm checking whether everything works before finalizing it in the case. Currently, I've connected the following to the motherboard:
- AMD 9800X3D
- Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240mm (connected to CPU_FAN)
- Tforce Delta RAM running in dual channel
- 5070FE GPU
I have the PSU (Corsair RM750x) set up with the 24-pin ATX, CPU, and GPU connected. When I power on the PSU, the first thing I see is a purple light and then nothing happens, including the RGB on my liquid cooler.
Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I think it's unlikely that the RAM is incompatible here, but it's definitely possible something else is causing the issue. Have you updated the BIOS yet?
Generally, all DDR5 RAM should be compatible with your motherboard. Some may not perform at their rated EXPO speeds due to various factors, but they should still POST at default speeds. This issue sounds more like it could be related to a short circuit or perhaps a problem with your PSU or motherboard.
If you suspect a short, make sure all cables are securely connected. Loose connections can definitely cause issues, especially on a first boot.
