Any way to shut off all Riser LED’s??

[PolishBaldEagle]

These riser LED’s are bright AF! Seriously considering just desoldering them and replacing them with darker ones or something. Would rather just have them off since the rig is in my ventilated closet

[Crypt0Gore]

This option is available in hiveOS, saw it one time I was settings up my RTX3060ti and 3070ti rig... On windows OS I don't know how.

Riser LED's cannot be shut off. 

Gpu leds can be in some cases.....

Not even Hive OS can shut off riser LEDs.

Only removing them or unpowering the riser works...but no power is not good for mining.

I remember when lights were removed from computers because they were no longer useful.
They still aren't useful so why were they added back? [rhetorical]

Useful or not, they are so bright! It would be different if they were quite dim, but these small LED’s literally light up a room. Mind you, I’m just starting out with mining and have no other place to put my rig other than in the closet with the door left open. If I decide to scale (knowing me I probably will) then I won’t worry so much about the lights.

I suppose I’ll just have to de solder the LEDs and place a cap in there or some other SMD chip to bridge the connection

Just put a piece of electric tape over them

Thought about that but dont know if it would impact heat dissipation from the motherboard. Ah screw it. Might as well put tape on it and if something fry’s, I’ll just end up fixing it

a true visionary. i like your way of thinking

[Pendrak]

just test then with 12 volts they burn nice.

They make riser without LED's:

The 009S risers only have a small 12V and 3.3V LED, not the obnoxious disco LEDS's the newer risers have.

The 006 risers have no LED's at all.

Use dark tape if you have problems with the light

Use dark tape if you have problems with the light 

You read my mind

I think in english the name is "insulating tape", that tape we use on electrical objects, wires etc
There's no risk and you can cut small pieces, put on led and the problem is solved, maybe you need to use 2 layers to block all the light

There's no way to deactivate via software, only removing the led from board

The same with LEDs of GPUs and motherboards. Some GPUs for example 5700xt from Sapphire has a way to turn off using software but a lot of them for example RadeonVII I am unable to. It would be nice to have no lights whatsoever in mining rig except the one that is on ethernet port.

And why? I don´t understand this problems with the LED´s. Is it danger for your eyes? You sitting the whole day in front of your rig and watch how it runs?

Well, everyone has their own setup. for me, the setup is in a spare room and in night just too much glow if someone has to use that room. Not a big issue but would be nice if there is less lights

never thought about that. It would be fine for the Risers because they don't have much resale but for GPUs this won't work

LEDs are needed, because it is easy to determine the performance of the raiser from them. But the best resolving for video cards and raisers is the black insulating tape. 2 layers will save you from any light. But if the video cards are in a ventilated case, then the LEDs should not interfere.

But they obviously do interfere which is why I asked the question to begin with

They are, but not a frickin night clubs worth of lights. Only lights I care to see (if any for that matter) is a single power and status light, ethernet lights (those are actually dim), and maybe a dim status light on the riser (prefer non at all though)

THANK YOU!!! This is EXTREMELY helpful!

It's a problem when I am trying to sleep. I have a small home with very limited space where I can keep my tech stuff so I had to settle by sticking the rig in the closet (and keeping it open so it doesnt burn up). Once we move outta this place, this LED issue wont matter as much

At least im not the only one

Yeah I had this issue in the past but it wasn’t with risers it was with Bitcoin ASICs and they were worse because they weren’t permanent solid like a riser LED they blinked consistently. I had them in my room and at night they drove me nuts.

Basically you can try tape but it will fly off due to the heat. So if that doesn’t work and you don’t want to desolder them one by one then use a black permanent marker. You will still see it somewhat but won’t be as bright as before.

Yea, I've put electrical tape on electronics before (wait, what!?) and yea, it just peals off after some time. Never thought of using a permanent marker, ill give that a try now.
