Mine started to look like that quite recently and I was sad because it doesn't look as nice as it used to. Now I am pretty excited I can bring the life back to the leds! Thanks for the help!!!
Yeah same, I've had my 2 cards for 2-3 years and I had saved few years for them and I was so sad in first month for the leds shitting around but now I'm so glad it can fixed ez, yay :D
a big thank you! the heat from the gpu does indeed affect the fiber optic cable. lifespan about a year max. then it gets milky. Now I have a solution for my front mounted GTX 1070 in the antec striker case, so thank you sir
@@kian4077 hey, do you mean by software? to change colors, or to change the silicon bars as suggested in this video? (btw, by now I've changed the 1070 to a 3080,...same as the old one, Strix from Asus)
Much appreciated.. baught one of these recently for wife/kids sff build.. cost me 12.99 canadian on amazon for 1 meter of 4mm fiber optics.. took me less than 20 mins and half that was struggling with getting it back onto the riser cable in a sff build.
OK, I can say for sure it works on every THREE FAN card in the Asus ROG Strix range, from the 1070 to the 2080ti. I will list them: 1060-6G, 1060-O6G, 1070, 1070oc, 1070-ti, 1080, 1080oc, 1080-ti, 2060, 2060oc, 2060 Super. Any of the 2070's and 2070 super cards, and any of the 2080's. 2080 super cards and the 2080-ti cards, including the white editions. The new 3060-ti, 3070, 3080, and 3090's I have no idea about. They have RGB all over the place and I've no idea what kind of lighting system they have under the hood. EDIT: ANYTHING before the 10 series Three fan cards DO NOT have the RGB lighting, I looked at the 980-ti (the flagship before the 10 series was released, and nope, it's a completely different style of card. The cards I have listed at the top are all in EXACTLY the same type of case. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 3-Fan 1060-6GB from a 2080-ti 11GB unless it said so on the card! Be careful if you are buying seconds hand, as it DOESN'T take a tech savvy person to swap the cases between a 1080 and a 1080-ti, and the "normie" user would probably never notice for some time (if ever) since they don't benchmark or use other tools which tell then the GPU they are actually using - even then they may miss the fact that it doesn't say "ti" after the 1080. They will just see it as a HUGE leap in performance from their 780 or whatever they were using before that. There are certainly some scumbags out there who will do anything to screw you over. If buying second-hand on Ebay ask them for a Userbenchmark score for their system, it will tell you what card it is testing, how well it is pergorming compared to other cards of that particular type, as well an article about whether that card was considered decent at the time of release, let alone 2 or 3 years later. I'm still very hapy with my 1070 until the 3060-ti comes down to the price it is MEANT to be in stores. I don't need a 3070 or 3080 for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and am not interested in 4k. I'd rather spend the extra on a 120hz or 144hz monitor to upgrade my grappy acer 60hz with nothing more recent than a DVI socket on it. No point in playing a game at 180 FPS if your screen only refreshes 60 times per second, capping you at 60 FPS anyway.
Ordered this stuff a looong time ago. Probably gonna do this to my card when I sell it next month so the person after me still has a decently looking card.
Just figured it out after almost 5 years... I thought it was normal that my GPU did not fully light up... that's so sad. Not planning on fixing this, as I'm looking forward to upgrading soon though.
bro, how about this, the rgb on the backplate rog gtx 1070 is not the same as in the fan and in the writing, if the fan and the rog writing is purple, but the backplate is red, can you give the tutorial please ...
Thanks, I bought a 1070ti used and that was super easy. Amazon had it here next day, it cost 12$ cad for 3 feet. Question... whats the right side white debug led for? I have an rm850x and custom corsair cable made for the psu. All connections are good, but the white led is always on.
i bought a 1080 ti second hand recently , the leds are flashing orange like a heartbeat, any idea what the problem could be ? i also couldnt find the gpu in the armoury crate software.
I guess I'm not having this problem but my strix 1070 is stuck on one color. The armoury crate software isn't changing the color. Tried unplugging the RGB power cable and reputting it in but nothing. Not sure why the color is stuck for me. Kinda sucks. It's stuck on yellow of all colors haha
i was following the tutorial but when i opened my gpu i noticed that the led board missing so even if i did replace the cable it wont light up. do you know where i can get my hands on a replacement led board???
Anyone have a fix for the bottom LED doesn't match with the top part back plate LED ? not the same color anymore on my Strix 1080 ti the same thing happen to my Strix 1070
Hey great vid! Though i do have another problem with my 1070, its the same graphics card as yours but i am unable to change the rgb colors on the graphics card itself. I have been trying to change it on the armory crate app and on icue but it didn´t get detected on neither of those. The rgb on my graphics card right now is static red. Help would be so appreciated!
If you have a working light anywhere on the gpu the led is working the fiber optic cable that spreads the light is most likely just crimped. But I'm not unmounted my gpu for that😂

Woow. So it's just a optic cable problem? Amazing you solved a problem than I have since 2 year with my 1080 ti

I done this and some of the colour dont work it works if you do a static colour but like breathing affects it do do

Question... whats the right side white debug led for? I have an rm850x and custom corsair cable made for the psu. All connections are good, but the white led is always on.
That's right, it's a white debug LED which just indicates that the GPU is powered. I have a strix GTX 1060 and have the same thing.
do you think adding heat tape over the fiber optics would help prevent this from happening again?
Maybe over the top yeah but you’ll need to leave room for light to pass through
So now I noticed one strip is a different hue/colour than that other? Amy ideas?
