Hi I got a r9 270x toxic and it has temperature status leds. I know red means too hot, mine are blue. Sometimes I have two, sometimes I have three? Also there looks to be about 5 leds on the card to inform me of something but sapphire dont mention anything about them. Does anyone have any idea what they mean?
 
I believe they're in the VIBGYOR color scheme.

Are they blue when you are idling?
Are they Green/ Yellow when mild-medium gaming?
Are they Orange when heavy gaming?
Are they Red with extremely heavy gaming on ultra?

If yes, then the color scheme is:
Blue: Idle
Green/ Yellow: Low usage
Orange: High usage
Red: Very high usage

Hope this helps.

On idle I have two blue. When I play battlefield 4 I sometimes have 3 or the usual 2 blue lights. I believe they are to do with temperature, blue as in cool safe temp, red for hot dangerous temp. There looks to be 5 of them, two always on blue sometimes the third goes blue. Remaining two always off. Not worried but really want to know exactly what they mean.
I went on the sapphire site but cant find anything more than it stating the card has temperature pmb LEDs. I tried to ask on the support section but when I try to submit it constantly asks me to log in, and I am logged in thats why it lets me send the support "ticket".
