Asus Strix GTX 1080Ti O11G Lights on near PCIE connectors (What are these lights?)

MajinOme

So I'm pretty sure that I have never seen these two white lights stay turned on on my Asus Strix GTX 1080Ti O11G when my PC is shutdown.

I recently loaded optimized defaults in my IX Formula's BIOS and ever since then, these GPU lights have stayed on. I tried switching back to my OC profile in the BIOS but the lights still stay on when the PC is shutdown.

I'm almost positive that I have never seen these lights stay turned on when my PC was shutdown. Is there a way I can turn them off? And what's causing them to stay on? And what are these lights in general?

No. Those LEDs are for indicating whether the PCIe cable is properly inserted into the PCIe connector.

White = Yes
Red = No

Proper seating and 5V standby power present. They are all this way. *It's when they are not lit that one should begin to worry

Shut down your PC in "S4 + S5" power mod , you can change this setting in your motherboard bios.

Note : In this mode your system at cold startup may start and stop one or two time , don t worry It s normal and in this mode you can t use some ability of PC, LAN pc wake up , mouse/keyboard move pc wake up etc.. group of useless things generally.:)
