z370 extreme 4.
My ram = G.Skill Trident Z.
Why, when I set sleep mode on Windows 10, ram's led lights continue to light up?

When you put a computer in Hibernate/Sleep mode it reduces power consumption by switching off the hard drive and display when they are not being used. Its virtually zero in Hibernate mode as the open programs and the data they contain are copied to the hard drive. In Sleep mode theyre stored in the PCs RAM memory, so there is still a small power drain, but the computer can be up and running in just a few seconds

Hence technically your ram is still on during sleep mode. Put it to hibernate and it will turn the ram off and store it on the HDD but it takes a little longer to boot up vs sleep.

I'd like to know how many watts they consume, I heard hibernate is not good for SSD which is why I disabled it.

According to PCPartpicker 14w for G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (3200 CL16) (2x8 GB); now that's assuming under load. 

So in sleep mode i would say 3-7w 

Obviously lower if you don't have rgb.
