Why is this LED blinking on my GPU?
Why is this LED blinking on my GPU?
I recently purchased a new GPU, the Gigabyte RTX3060 v2, which has an LED on top of the 8-pin connector. When I’m just using my PC for writing, it doesn’t light up or blink, but when I launch a game, it starts blinking randomly and not consistently—it sometimes flickers. This behavior didn’t occur three weeks ago; it began a few days ago. Usually, it happens during GPU-intensive games like MMO2 or Forza 5, where it sometimes lights up. Since I couldn’t find any online help, I’m a bit confused. On the internet, some people mention it might be due to a faulty PSU, but my PSU is in good condition—it’s a 650W cooler master. I also read that it could blink when fully loaded, but that didn’t happen weeks ago.
I owned a 980ti before, and the lights were always on, which is why I'm puzzled now.
The site flags a power issue; check with support for details. Ask about the PSU model and PCIe cables you're using. The image only shows one unit, which isn't necessarily safe—even brands like Corsair, Seasonic, and EVGA have experienced problems.
Thanks for checking out the site. I'm using a 650W Cooler Master Masterwatt 80 Bronze unit.
