GPU power connector red status light doesnt turn off on pc shutdown, bad card?

[ImServs]

Ive never seen this before, but the red status led on the power connector doesnt turn off when the pc does. Its off while the pc is on, but when its off, its extremely annoying because of how bright it is. Ive checked the cable, and tried a spare i had. im not sure if its intentional? maybe there is a way to shut it off? The card is a Asus ROG Strix 4080 Super.

Do you shut your PC off when it's off or is it just "sleeping" ?

In my mind, when the pc is off, there's no power going to the gpu, so there can be no such light.

its off off, but power is still going to it. Thats why some motherboards have light on when they are off as well, though typically that can be turned off in bios. so far ive just had to hit the PSU switch every time i turn off the pc.

An idea : I've got a setting to enable USB ports to provide power even when the pc is off.

But I don't want the psu to use power when off so I disable it.

Did you ?

And finally, you could stick some tape on that led to dim it.

i dont have any fancy settings like that in BIOS, but the tape idea was my last resort.

What about an ErP setting ?
