Asus rog strix b500-f gaming - ram

I’m having trouble with RAM on my new build.

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B500-F GAMING (no wifi)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 6900XT
NVMe 1: SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 MZ-V7S1T0B/AM
NVMe 2: SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 MZ-V7S500B/AM
BIOS: 2423

RAM 1st Attempt: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GVKC
RAM 2nd Attempt: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB (For AMD) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GTZ

Neither of these has allowed the Motherboard to boot to BIOS. In each case the RAM Led is lit on the motherboard. I have tried the CLRTC Jumper as suggest in the troubleshooting guide. I upgrade the BIOS during the attempt with Ripjaws but clearly that didn’t change anything.

At this point I need any suggests on what else to try. OR Links to AVAILABLE working memory for the MB/CPU Combo, I’m having a horrible time find 2x16GB Kits that are listed via the ASUS guide.

Thanks for any help!

Just Adding this... I started to winder if the Motherboard has an issue. GSKILL thinks those modules should be fine. I'm wondering if I should try to RMA this back to ASUS.

This has been resolved.. The issue was my own failure, the CPU Power cable [ EATX12V_1 ] was not pushed all the way in I think. ASUS did RMA the board and found no faults so when I hooked it back I noticed the connector end on the Powersupply was not firmly in place.

Lesson here is IF the EATX12V_1 and 2 are not hooked up correctly the Motherboard will boot but hang at the RAM check state with the QLED light on.
