Hello.
I am just wondering what was causing the leds on my motherboard to stay on even when the PC was turned off.
I had a Corsair AX850 PSU and it was working perfectly for two years. But during those two years the leds on my motherboard would also stay turned on when the PC was turned off. So I had to switch the PSU power button off every night because of a bright LED for the "clear CMOS" button at the back that was annoying.
As I ran into some problems with my PSU and was still under warranty I sent it back. While waiting for a replacement I borrowed a friend's Corsair HX450. Same thing there, the LEDS would stay on when the PC was off.
And then yesterday I got my new Corsair AX860 and now the LEDS are no longer turned on when I turn the PC off. They turn off after a few seconds after the PC has turned off.
How come this was happening and why isn't it happening on my new PSU?
Also while I am talking about the PSU I would also like to ask if I should use the Hybrid or Normal mode for the fan? What would be the best in your opinion?
Thank you very much in advance!
