When i turn off my PC, my LED's on the LAN-Connector are still ON (both).

Is that normal, can you check that pls?

Is normal, eh.

I wish mine would stay on. I'm trying to get WoL working on my Maximus IX Hero and I just cannot get it functioning for the life of me. My old z77 board worked just fine. I googled everything I can, and the closest answer I've seen is "some boards can, some boards can't" and it all comes down to whether or not the network card will stay powered on while the system is off. Apparently mine doesn't, because when the system is left off for a while, it eventually powers off the NIC. I take it this has something to do with why I can't get WOL working.

Yes, my Maximus IX Formula shows the same behaviour. There's nothing wrong with your system. 🙂
