You're certain the HDD LED cable is linked to the right two pins on the motherboard?

Yes, I've confirmed it's linked to HDLED.

Use the Resource Monitor in Task Manager and look at Disk activity.

I checked by opening MemTest64.exe from TechPowerUp. When I began the test, the blinking stopped. The program ran for about four hours at maximum settings without any errors appearing.
