I've been away for a while. My computer is all boxed up for a couple of weeks and ready to relocate to my new home so I haven't been able to see if mine will burn out. But I know it will eventually.
 
Just read that other thread on the x570. So it really does look like an EVGA parts problem rather than a design problem for one model board.
Strange it hasn't happened with the Dark.
 
Very disappointing.

And now there's a report of an 's LEDs failing too.

Wow I really really hope that the issue can be fixed via a bios update or something because I find it disheartening to believe that Evga used a bunch of defective LEDs on the their most recent boards.

It's a hardware failure. You can't fix that in BIOS. I don't even think they can adjust the brightness via a BIOS update, but maybe I'm wrong (there's not currently a setting in the BIOS). Also, I highly doubt they knew it was a widespread issue before putting the same LED circuit/part on every board. Further, if the part is defective, but they used it per the datasheet, that's not really EVGA's fault. It is their responsibility to take care of it for us (the customers), but in that case it wouldn't be due to incompetence or anything like that. We currently have no specific confirmation on why the indicators are failing. 

Hello everyone...
 
   As mentioned previously, my Z590 FTW LED (The right top) segment has started to go bad....Wanted to contact EVGA to see if they have identified, and found a reliable replacement LED for this board so if I do an RMA, I wont be sent a board that will fail again, but been working too late the last couple of weeks so have not had a chance to contact them...  I did see a few post's about turning on "Dark Mode" in the bios in an attempt to lengthen the life of the LED's so I thought I would try that....  To my surprise, turning On Dark Mode did nothing....  The LED's continue to stay on through the post, and Windows boot...  Is there another setting in the bios that Im not aware of that has to be turned on to keep these LED's off/Dark????

Count me among those with a failed LED indicator on the Z590 Dark. It also happened on the Z590 FTW I was using before I got my hands on the Dark.

This issue is annoying enough that it finally made me come out of lurking.

@geforce10, I picked the "off" option. I didn't have anything called "dark". It still shows the post code, but then turns off.

Also, I sent Jacob a message directly and he said he was looking into it.

Really unfortunate to hear this and also happening on the top end DARK boards of all like even the X570. ASUS boards have that BS ALC4080 codec and Armory crate UWP junk with questionable qc, ASRock OCFormula has a gigantic fan on the VRM HS plus 2x fans. Yeah DARK also has them. MSI has not much reputation on the great BIOS or etc, plus their Z590 has only 6 SATA ports. I really wish EVGA comes and addresses this. I'm now on the nick of the trigger because do not want to dabble with big little +DDR5 on Intel or the future AMD because I want to run Windows 7.

This is what my bios shows under "Dark Mode".  As you can see, I have it enabled, which should turn off the LED's after bios post, but they remain on no matter what....Sigh.  As of now, I dont think EVGA has a new revision/fix for this, and I cant even turn my off to save them from totally not working....

@geforce10, the setting for the post led is in the hardware monitor section.
 
Edit: Photo of that screen (it is set to "[Temp.] CPU" in this image):

Oh wow, may have missed that one, LOL!  Thanks for the heads up, trying that now and will post right back with results...  Still curious as to what "Dark Mode" does in the "Advanced" section???
 
UPDATE: Yea, that turned off the LED's after post, so thanks for the heads up B0baganoosh!!   I guess, even if I didn't have the LED's for POST, I get all the codes on my monitor during post. just not CPU temp.  However I do have an alarm set on my Corsair AIO that will alert me of the water temp/CPU gets too hot...  This EVGA DG-86 is amazing at keeping everything very cool inside the case, but ONLY if you remove the front air filter....Its a great idea, but honestly, that air filter BLOCKS at least 85% of the air flow from those 3 intake fans.  I mean, I could not believe the different once I removed it...Now my fans are nice and quite during gaming and my GPU and CPU both run really cool... I just blow my case out once a week with compressed air and life is grand...
 
Thanks again B0baganoosh for the info!!
