There is a constant red blinking light on my Z270 Classified. It is hidden behind my 1080 card underneath the nvidia SLI logo printed on the board. I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to mean or do to be honest. I only notice it because I have a window case and saw when I was sitting up. I'm not really sure if it was blinking before when I first built it. Other than that, stable at 5.0ghz life is good etc. I just found it odd.
 
Youtube video of this.

    Looks like your M.2 top slot activity light, do you have a drive in there, if so that is why!

    +1. Mine does the same, not that much but does flicker every now and then.

    Yep, got a m.2 in there. Thanks for the input. My corsair 750d hdd activity light just... stays solid white on. I guess my mobo hdd activity light is borked as I've not seen a single flicker from it.
     
    I do have 5 hd connected which is weird and my temp folder is on a 4 tb drive so you'd think there'd be some activity flashes.

    Odd, my hdd light on my 750d does the same, it flickers a little so i think it might have to do with the evga z270 board, if you look at your MB mounted reset button it will stay solid white and flicker when there is hdd activity, the hdd light header probably is connected to the same circuit.

    Page 10 of the manual LED 13 ?
     
    There is also Bluetooth/Wifi Activity LED if you have a small M.2 board installed but that LED is left bottom of the board.

    the lower m.2 slot also has one just above the edge connector
