Hello! I just recently purchased the X58A off newegg since it was at a good price and after setting it and my system up (specs to follow) I thought that at first I was having audio problems, because whenever I sound would play, a good majority of the time, it would pop, not all the time, but occasionally, so I thought the sound drivers might be incorrect, so I reinstalled them etc.
After playing games and reorienting my case so I can look into the system at the mobo parts etc, I noticed that whenever the High Temp LED would turn on, or off, either the red or the green one, I would notice popping in the audio and if I was streaming video or playing games, I would get a very very sharp frame drop, for example; World of Warcraft runs beautifully with VSync off at approx 250 FPS, when the LED turns on, the system essentially hangs for a split second, dropping framerate down to 10-15 and stalling the system temporarily (if you were entering in a command when the LED was being switched on or off, you would lose that command or a portion of it, for example, when typing, losing letters). I tried looking in the BIOS to disable the LED's or online to see if anyone was encountering the same problems and had a solution but alas, it seems like this plight is my own. Any suggestions? Is this potentially a bad board that I am going to have to RMA?
