disabling LED lights...

[xdementia]

Hi, I recently got a new box and the case fans all have annoying LED lights that light up when the machine is on. Is there a way I can disable these? I looked for a switch for them but couldn't find anything.

There are yellow, red, and black wires going to each fan, is it possible one of these is just for the light and I could just cut it?

i think u ment LED's

u can cut the wire on the LED or remove them from the fan, But DO NOT CUT THE POWER Wire

Yeah, the only way i can think of to disable the LED on case fan would be to cut the wire leading to the LED, or just ripping the think off completely. Or you could just get some case fans with no LEDs.

Yea that's what I want to do, but I'm wondering what wire it is that I should cut. There is a black,red, and yellow, does anyone have any idea which it might be?

Thanks.

you need to leave the red, yellow and black wires alone if you want the fan to run. you will need to unmount the fan from the case and locate the source of the lights (the LED's), find the small wires that go to each LED, there will be two wires for each LED. you only need to cut one wire from each LED to make the LED not light up.

Might want to put a little electricians tape over the cut wires, dont want any computer fires.

if it has a white band going around it (I have the Thermaltake ones) then you have to cut that off, there will be two wires that connected to that and u have to cut them and cover them w/ electrical tape.
