You have an issue. What does your motherboard battery say for voltage?

Ok one of you says I have an issue one of you doesn't... so I'm torn haha. I've never owned a motherboard that beeps on startup unless it had a hardware issue such as a bad stick of ram, what's thrown me off about this is my PC has ran fine for months and this beep has happened since day one, all of my hard drives and RAM seem to working as advertised and showing up just fine in BIOS. The PC will boot up and then it will make the 3 quick beeps then the 1 beep aftewards and then it will have a loading ICON on the motherboard splash page which will last around 5-10 seconds usually longer if I have had my PC off for awhile. Fast boot doesn't seem to do much to fix this.  I just built a PC for a customer with a Gigabyte Z270 board and the voltage was displayed perfectly and his motherboard splash screen was much much faster so so far very dissapointed with my EVGA board.
 
/edit: aside from the long splash screen I do notice that my motherboard does not read correct voltages at all (atleast the software doesnt.) my BIOS reads CPU voltage as 1.28V yet my desktop software reads my voltage as .5v which I find weird since I've never seen software voltage be so incorrect. Makes it really hard to OC but other than incorrect voltages in software and the prolonged boot sequence the board seems fine.
 
Where would I find my battery voltage?

Test Your Memory, One Stick at a time.

Yep. Sounds like a Memory stick may be bad. Try 1 stick at a time as suggested.

Already did this, RAM is working fine... shows up in all my software and BIOS and games read the RAM just fine. I use over 10GB on the regular and never had any issues with the ram, also have ran memtest and it showed up with zero issues. It still beeps.
 
I'm wondering if anyone posting here knows about EVGA boards and if this is actually normal? I've read a few threads saying it beeps once for every USB device connected but it seems like nobody else experiences this?

 
Did you check all plugs and connections to make sure nothing is loose?

Then you may have a CPU Issue.

My Classified K beeps twice really fast then a noticeably different beep for POST. I usually only have two USB devices connected (mouse and keyboard), a search reveals that it is "normal" but if it is it would be nice for EVGA to mention that in the manuals (they don't mention anything about speakers or beeps). It does beep three times rapidly then a short beep when I leave additional USB devices connected (USB drives).
 
As for your PC getting slower maybe that is just crap that accumulates in the operating system from updates and other software.

Sounds more like you have the USB Beep, you can turn that of in your Bios.

Isn't that the same issue as the OP?
 
I think the OP is worrying about nothing.

No, not really.
Yours: beeps twice really fast then a noticeably different beep
OP: 3 quick beeps and a short beep
 

I'd recommend posting a recording of the beeping as well. Some USB devices can take longer to initialize than others (such as external USB hard drives), causing the beeping to be non-uniform, in my personal experience anyway. If you hear high pitched beeps, you should be okay. If any of them are lower pitched beeps, those are errors. Also, watch the POST code display on the motherboard during boot and make note of any code numbers it gets stuck on for more than a few seconds. Note that once the system has finished booting, the POST code display will show the CPU temp as its value. The POST codes and their meanings can be found toward the end of the manual.

Sometimes my Class K will pause on initializing the 2 each LG CD/DVD units the SSDs and HD are fast. The post code for the SATA legacy LG units is "A2"
