Z790 Dark hero code keep spinning

Hi,
Following my previous message on this forum I return my previous DDR5 kit and replace it by this one 
G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6800 (PC5 54400) Desktop Memory Model F5-6800J3446F48GX2-TZ5RK

I did installed it in A2 - B2. 

It does boot, and it recognized both sticks in the BIOS and in the OS. I tried both with and without XMP and the issue is the same. 
Once I booted and I'm in the OS the code on the mobo keep changing from 31 up to 44 and never get stable or never reach the expected A0.

I tried as well a single stick installed in A2 and it does not change anything.

My BIOS is up to date (1402).

Please helppp.

I think that your QCode LED is showing the CPU temperature (if everything else is working OK). You can change that function in the BIOS and just have it display codes if you prefer. It's confusing if you're not aware of it. 

Z690 Hero, 12900K, BIOS 3701, MEI 2407.6.1.0, ME Firmware 16.1.32.2473, 7000X Case, RM1000x PSU, ASUS TUF OC 3090TI, 2 x 16GB Corsair RAM @ 5200MHz, Windows 11 Pro 23H2, Corsair H150i Elite AIO, 4x Corsair RGB fans, 3x M.2 NVME drives, 2x SATA SSDs, 2x SATA HDs.
