Hi there,
I'm an happy owner of a GTX570 SO (GV-N570SO-13I). Everything works just fine in my system. I have a question thou. I went thru a review of the card done by Hexus.net in which the author says:"12 LEDs indicate the number of power phases active for the GPU and VRMs. Idle in Windows and two are lit, while load a game and the full complement of green LEDs is visible if you peer into the chassis. A further two power phases, without corresponding LEDs, are reserved for the memory" As my case is still opened I noticed that I have all 12 leds always lit, in idle ( windows 7 64bit desktop ) as well as during Metro 2033 gaming with full high settings. The game runs smoothly and the power consumption read from the plug shifts from 100 watts on idle to 280 watts during Metro 2033 gaming. So I'm pretty sure the card is working well. I also tried to activate the epu power saving switch on my mobo and change bios settings to auto power saving but no changes at all. So my question is: is there something wrong with my leds? Is there something I should install to have the leds correctly indicating the number of power phases currently active (i.e. Oc Guru)? Or maybe Hexus.net is not telling how the leds really work?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion to feed my curiosity!
