I believe you should be able to disable onboard LEDs through the BIOS, it will be under the advanced tab, labelled something like LED control. 

 

Whether that includes the HD_LED or not, I'm not sure. If not, your only choice really is going to be to cover it. You could try a long paint brush to see if you can get to it without disassembling the loop, but I'd really recommend electrical tape over that.

I have the asus maximus formula x, water loop installed, and an annoying orange led blinking from my motherboard through my 1080ti waterblock is bugging me. 

 

I can't really get to it to see if I could just put some black tape over it without disassembling the loop, so I was wondering if there's a way to turn it off in the bios(without disabling all the rgb rog lighting).

Cut out a small piece of electrical tape. Less permanent than nail polish.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Like I said, I can't really get to it without disassembling everything in my water loop, looking to see if theres a bios option that I'm unable to find.

Not sure if I could even do that lol. The formula has has that rog armor that covers almost all of the pcb, the 1080ti is almost flush with the SATA connectors

No, you can never turn those off.

Tape or some sort of paint.

I think I remember seeing a setting for on board leds, but I assumed that would turn off everything RGB aura synced, which is part of the reason I got the formula.

It may well be for the optional LEDs, but may not include the status type LEDs. Still worth looking around the BIOS for it though.

I went down this road with the C6H. Ended up using black liquid rubber, there were no options to kill it. I put it on the end of a really long screw driver. Had no issues. Maybe that'll work for you. Just mushed it on after letting it dry a bit so it wasn't all drippy.

Just got home, Went to Advanced(I thnk) : Rog Effects : and disabled On Board LEDs.   HD LED not flashing anymore, and rgb Aura LEDs still work.

Thankies. this forum is so helpful. Asus forums are absolutely useless.
