Hi All Im currently using several ML120 fans (Blue) in my rig but for some reason the brightness of the LEDs is tied to the speed of the fans. They are obviously set to low most of the time when the system is not under load and as such the LEDs are quite dim. They are 4 Pin Fans plugged into 4 Pin Headers. Is there any way to get the LEDs to stay on full brightness while maintainng a low fan speed? I have a custon fan curve set through the gigabyte software but the LEDs have always had the behaviour. Thanks

Check the BIOS settings or Gigabyte Control interface to confirm.

It's usually found in the BIOS, often related to fan settings. For ASUS and MSI boards, this applies, though it may also be adjusted through software on my ASUS unit.

I checked the BIOS settings, but there’s nothing available to switch fans between PWM and DC modes. It seems this feature isn’t supported by the board. You might need to look into alternative solutions or contact the manufacturer for more options.
