Components/peripherals list for convenience sake: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Cncwh
A while back I noticed my VGA Q-LED on my motherboard started coming on, after a complete disassembly and returning the component for repairs, it came back clean. Next I tried the GPU, when I swapped it out for a Dell built 1070 I had no light, seems simple right? When I start up with my monitor off the light will come on, when I start up with the monitor on, all is fine. I have tried using DP, HDMI, disabling G-Sync/adaptive sync, and almost everything in-between.
Once I found that turning on with the monitor on would stop the light from turning on, I cancelled my RMA with EVGA (They only send out refurbished parts, I'm not ready to send out my graphics card which is in pristine condition for one that I have no idea the history of if not needed.) When I looked around for this issue online, no one had a solution, and the few that encountered it said it seemed meaningless when it came to performance. My warranty extends out another 2 years for both the Mobo and GPU, would it be wise to just wait and use the solution I have found so far?
Thank you in advance.
