Hello.

 

I have installed two led strips into my pc but i feel like they are too bright for me. Can i somehow turn them off or lower brightness in BIOS (asus maximus VII hero) or do i have to completely remove them?

 

Thank you for replying.

That would depend how the LEDs are configured. You could only control them via the BIOS if they were plugged into the motherboard some how. 

If they're plugged directly into the power supply via something like molex, you could buy some sort of adapter which would allow you to control the brightness.

Personally I'm not a fan of PC lighting, as it just ends up irritating me and is always far too bright.

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

You may be able to use a resistor but they tend to be as bright as they are! Maybe just try one?

If you dont know the value of the resistor you need to use to get that exact lighting you want, then use a 50k Potentiometer
