If it works, then it works. I doubt the LEDs being off means anything important.

Off topic, kind of annoys me when people are like "omg omg omg, help me, someone please, asap! One of my 11 case fans isn't working!" If its a problem resulting in it being non-operational, then yeah, go for it. Minor problems, no, its not the end of the world.

The cpu phase leds are just an indicator. Having it off is about as bad as a hdd activity led off.

You should link the motherboard model and such, also I think it might be for a more advanced LED display, such as it it will display 1/4 LEDs on a low load and on max load 4/4 LEDs might light up. I am not really sure but this might be a possibility, should not be a big deal. The reason it might be a more advanced LED display is because they have a section in the BIOS just for LED lol

I was being general, the Asap at the end of your thread title was totally unnecessary. A better title, in fact, would have been "Power Phase LED not working"

And as for the problem at hand, if it doesn't affect anything else in your system, and its purely aesthetic, Dont worry about it. If you really want them, try to reset your bios to default.

Power phases.

The cpu goes into different power phases when under different loads.

It just lights up telling you its under load, it is not a big deal unless you like to look at blinking lights all day. I actually disable mine because they annoy me.

so the 4 LEDs means its been under load the whole time that they have been on?

ASAP-As soon as possible; meaning quickly, and with all due haste.

I'm NOT saying they do nothing.

I AM saying they are far from a vital component and can safely be ignored if they fail, with no consequence.

If all 4 are always on then you are either always under heavy load or the indicator is not functioning properly.

It means the it's in a certain power phase which is usually an indicator to load.
