PWR Led

[Defonten]

Hello everyone. I recently bought an Asus TUF B360-Pro Gaming (wi-fi) motherboard, everything connected and everything works fine. But the indicator on the PWR Led motherboard is constantly on. What is it connected with or is it normal and it should be constantly on. I repeat, everything works fine :-)

Most if not all motherboards have a power indicator light on them. It will turn on when you plug in the PSU, regardless of whether the computer is on or not. If your computer works as expected, there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, it should be on.

it is the indicator that the motherboard is getting proper power.

ASUS has had this on a bunch of motherboards for a number of years now.

 

The other LEDs (e.g. BOOT, VGA, DRAM, CPU) should only cycle through when booting / POSTing, to let the user know which step of the system check it is at.

They should turn off once the computer is booted into Windows.

 

If it's a little annoying, you *could* paint it over, or cover it with electrical tape, etc.

I don't think his motherboard has the diagnostic LEDs, I didn't see them in pictures and there were no references to them in the manual, so I think the only LED on the board would be the power LED.

 

As for covering them, I use black kapton tape which acts as a tint, so they aren't bright but I can still see if the LED is on. If you don't have any, electric tape works fine.

All as you said. All other indicators on the motherboard such as (BOOT, VGA, DRAM, CPU) turn on only when the computer starts and then quickly turn off.

Thank you guys for the clarification. I am very grateful to you. I understand this is the norm. And this PWR indicator should light constantly. Not annoying yet
