I built a new PC and had issues with one of the ram sticks. PC booted with ram1. PC didn't boot with ram2 and Mobo was stack at red light (CPU). PC booted with both ram in but would freeze after few min. I updated the bios and now it boots with the bad ram2 and we with both without issues. Should I be concerned or not?

Specs:
Mobo: Asus tuf b650m plus
CPU: 7700x
Ram: (2x) gsill 5600 cl28 32gb
GPU: 3070

No, probably needed an update since it's ddr5

yeah most of the time a bios update helps with ram compatibility and other stuff as well. its always good practice to update bios when you get a new mobo or adding to it.
