X570 phantom gaming 4

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just started a build on a pc using the following parts:

amd ryzen 5 3600
msi geforce rtx 2060 gaming z
 X570 phantom gaming 4
CX Series CX650M ??650 Watt
corsair 275r airflow

To start out, im not too computer literate but i think i know enough at this point from looking around. At the store, the employee who was helping me forgot to grab ram and i didnt even notice it missing, so i ordered the sticks on amazon and continued the build. those come tomorrow, so i wanted to boot the pc just to be sure everything is working. with just the cpu installed, the dram and cpu red lights were on. as far as i could tell, it should have been able to post without the ram. i have also seen these lights typically have meant a faulty board. should i be worried about that or should i have to wait for the ram?
