My Specs are A prebuilt 3xs system from Scan UK I got in 2022
Evga rtx 3090ftw3/
Ryzen 9 5950x CPU
Corsair850watt gold PSU/
32gb ram corsair vengeance 3200mhz/
Asus rogstrix b550 f gaming mobo/
1tb wd blue nmve gen 3/
2× 2tb seagate barracuda hard DISKdrives/
4tb nvme KingSpec XG7000 gen4/
Corsair AIO 240mm cooler/
Unfortunately i think it might be the 4tb KingSpec 4tb gen4 XG7000 I bought and installed from amazon October 2024. I'm going to remove the heatsink over it today and probably find that the light is coming from that,cost me £200 that's my punishment for cheaping out.

A drone or UAP has found its way into your pc!
Just kidding.

I can't tell what that is. You say it's where the GPU plugs into the motherboard?

I think I know what it is my fault for cheaping out on a KingSpec Gen4 XG7000 4tb NVME I bought in October £200 amazon . I'll be certain in an hour or so,I'm using it as boot drive so I'd better use disk genius and copy windows11 to my other NVME before it dies.

It's the KingSpec Gen4 XG7000 4tb NVME I bought it from Yansen Store amazon.co.uk
 
I still can't tell if that's the SSD or the motherboard. I've never seen an SSD with lights on it. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist cause I've never seen a million dollars either.

Did you get this copied? Are you now booting from a different drive? If so, is the light still blinking?

It's the KingSpec 4tb nvme I'm not using it as boot drive now just for storage of games

Yes used Diak Genius played Cyberpunk 2077 from the Dodgy £200Kinspec it'll have to do, read write speeds are fine using Crystal disk I'll need to check temps

Yes I'm only storing and running games from the 4tb KingSpec Gen4 l,not running windows 11 on it.Still blinking a red light, seems to be dependant on the game.Like with Hogwarts Legacy it flashed when loading if I remember but not whilst playing.Seemed to flash a little more playing Cyberpunk I'll live with it.
 
I think a blinking red light on that MB is normally a power issue.
Are you using an 8pin or a 6+2 on the GPU Power
Or could it be the CPU power light and you are seeing light leaking under the GPU
Also, have you connected both the 4 pin and 8 pin on the MB power?
