Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Waterforce 2080 Ti - 2 pcie white leds

Hello.
Gigabyte 2080 Ti Aorus Waterforce Xtreme



The LED lights are located above the PCIe power connectors on the card.


When card is underload i can see white lights near pcie 2 connectors. Not blinking. Just white lights continuously. No problem in stability,clocks are normal.

Psu is Seasonic ULTRA TX 750W Platinum. Anybody have the same card?

Card is plugged by 2 separate pcie cables.
But according to AORUS white leds lightning continuosly means that there is no power. Both two white lights are not blinking. They just lightning continuously. Card working ok.

 

Hello. I think what you are seeing is a typo error in their marketing material. I think the words "Light on" and "Light off" are reversed by mistake.

Look more closely at the image you posted.

These statements in that image are contradictory:

• Consistent LED: Stable Power Supply
• Light on: power cable disconnected

Since your GPU is functioning properly, we must conclude that the first statement is accurate.

The second statement has to be inaccurate or your GPU would not be functional with power cables disconnected.

 

Weird there are some peoples without that 2 white lights under load with the same card. And there are peoples with 2 white lights. But no issues still. Maybe its bios of card? Anyway no worries if card working good?

 

I definitely wouldn't worry about it if the GPU is working correctly. Gigabyte should clear that up because what you posted (from them) is totally self-contradictory. Maybe they couldn't make up their mind, so they made some with lights on and some with lights off, LOL.

 

HEY! I restarted pc and now logo on gpu are moving and no white lights near 2 pcie connectors. So no worries?

 

You should be fine. Maybe the LED controller had a hiccup. As long as the GPU functions correctly I would not worry about it if it were my GPU.

 

So. The power led indicators light up for some reason and do not turn off until i restart pc. After restarting PC, they do not light up. At the same time, the logo stopts to play with colors, and burns constantly.
Even if I load the card heavily, the indicators do not turn on.

It happens sometimes on loading screen in 3dmark Port Royal. Also performance and clocks are not affected. Just that 2 constant power led white lights and gpu aorus logo stuck on 1 colour. In the same time ,card is not recognized Aorus Engine program in led settings.

When i reboot pc ,gpu logo is changing again colours and i dont see that power led pcie 2 white colours.

Can i ignore this??

 

If everything is functioning properly except the LEDs then yes, I would ignore it. If it very bothersome to you and the GPU is under warranty maybe contact Gigabyte and ask them what they can do to address the misbehaving LEDs. Maybe there is a firmware update or something.

I can tell you that the LEDs on my EVGA FTW3 GPU function normally with the stock firmware, but do not function normally using the non-EVGA firmware I have on the GPU. The original EVGA LED control software does not work with the non-EVGA vBIOS that I am using.

 

But why on 3dmark loading screen they that 2 white lights popping up? And logo aorus stop moving. Is this a glitch?
Only in 3dmark loading screen. I must restart everytime pc.

 

Are you using 2 separate pci-e cables? Or just the one cable daisy chain?

Nevermind, just noticed you are rightly using two cables.

 

i just baught that same gpu and with a little corsair450M ( 2 connectors from same pcie ), these little led are off. I will switch with a bigger psu soon;

 

I have a 1200 watt Seasonic Platinum Prime PSU with a single 100 AMP 12V rail. Do we really need to use separate PCI-e cables for our video cards?

 

Your Aorus 2080Ti has a 366 watt power limit Stock. So, it’ll probably pull 375+ watts pretty easily while overclocked. That doesn’t leave much for your components.

 

Doing so is the best approach whenever you can. If your PSU does not have the support for it, then just use it with a single cable providing power to both sockets. If you do not encounter any issues then I would not worry about it. If you're not doing any extreme GPU overclocking it might not present any issues.

 

I gotcha, just curious. I have never had a issue with it personally. But maybe lower quality power supplies could cause problems for some users.

 

I never had any issues either until I did my first shunt mod on a 1080 Ti and then I started having issues with not enough power getting to the GPU with both 8-pin connectors drawing juice from the same cable.

 

I am definitely going to run (2) 8pins then. My long lost in the mail, Aorus eGPU gaming box 2080Ti waterforce will be here tomorrow.

It is a factory water cooled 2080Ti inside a eGPU enclosure.

I am tearing the whole thing down, and pulling the GPU to run in my desktop with the 240mm rad and all.

Unfortunately, it is a non-A. So it must be shunt modded for more power than 300 watts.

Luckily, I’ve got everything on hand. So it’ll be a very fun project!

 

Yep i upgrade to 700W platinium. Feel safer and better.

 

oh for sure, I pulled the waterforce 2080Ti from a eGPU enclosure. I shunt modded the card by soldering on 8 ohm resistors to truck the power sense, and then flashed to the 310 watt bios non-A bios. And my GPU at 2,130Mhz would pull 425+ watts steady in RDR2 just the GPU.

These cards can really pull some juice!
