Disable Blinking Power Button while PC is asleep? - NZXT S340 elite

[corevo]

I assume there's nothing I can do about this but I wanted to check just to be sure...my case (S340 elite) has a power button that blinks while the computer is in sleep mode, is there a way to make the button stop blinking?

 

I could unplug the power led cables from the mobo I suppose but I do like having the button lit up when I'm using the pc.

When the PC is in sleep mode, you can just hit the power switch on the PSU and it's off.

I think I heard about an option in the bios to turn off auxiliary power when the pc is off. This could help if i knew what it was called

I don't think this is something you can control via software, I'd just remove the power led connector, I actually did it on my PC because it had blue leds that were so strong it would get in the way when I game with the lights off.

You could head into the BIOS and set the ACPI sleep mode to either S4 or S5.

that is false. 

 

When the pc is in sleep mode, all current data is saved to ram, if power is lost, everything is lost. 

 

What you talk about is hibernation, where all data is written to the hdd.

If OP has ssd he could use hibernation instead tht could solve the issue...

Really? I always do that, i click sleep and than switch off PSU, always works fine, it's opens back up to where i left off at.

Yeah I just have an SSD. So I should/could change my power settings so that after some period of inactivity, it hibernates, rather than just sleeping? 

 

If I leave programs open, I'd like for those to stay open when I resume using the computer and I think hibernating will close them? I'm not home at the moment so I can't test it.

Hibernation works the exact same way sleep does with the difference that the data is stored on the storage instead of the memory, since you have ssd it should be fast enough wake so you don't feel much of a difference between the two, the main difference is that then the system does shut down entirely as the memory won't need to keep being feed with energy.

Crap.. and here I was going to use a 9 Iron... would placing it infront of my vehicle and ramming the case cause the same effect, as said brick?

Depends on your vehicle and how you hit it. It needs to bit hit with the rear quarter panel of your car at exactly 88mph to get the same effect

Damn... sounds like it would break any car except a heavy duty truck or a tank. Like a smart car or a prius would be a death-trap hitting it.

Ofc, a diamond drill would just bounce off this amazing piece of hardware. Built by heating nokia phones in a blast furnace to create a solid bar of Nokiaum, which is then hand-carved through laserbeams into the finest case ever.
