Thanks for the responses.
Going to look into lowering the power.
Right now getting 730 sol/s at 250w, fan 60%, temperature 62c. electricity cost is 0.07c/kwh

So I should for sure not use a single pcie cable (has two 6+2) to power the 1080Ti?
2nd card will be offline for a while, seasonic hasn't gotten back to me yet about getting a extra pcie cable.

Anybody else have problems turning off the aorus led in ubuntu?

Hi, setting up my first rig and have a few questions.

Has anybody successfully disabled the led on a gigabyte aorus 1080Ti in ubuntu 16.04?
Tried Nvidia driver 384.111 and 390.25
I found these commands but neither work.

output:
** (nvidia-settings:6232): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

and

output:

Is it ok to use one pcie cable (it has two 6+2 connectors) to connect the power?
The gpu has needs two 8 pin connections. The card is a 1080Ti using 250w.

On some forums people have had the cable melt and recommend using two separate cables for each 8 pin power connection.
My seasonic psu only came with three pcie cables. So if the above is true, I have to keep one card offline until I can get another cable
Have you guys had any problems with the cable melting on 1080Ti's at max power?
