Geforce GTX logo Connector

[227167_1454181677]

Hey everyone. So I'm modding my card to have white letters. Simply sanding off the green paint. My only question is if there is an easy way to light this thing up without putting it back into the card and plugging it into a PCI? The connection is a two pronged connector. Any clue on what I need to do to make this sucker light up out of card? Thanks

It's much simpler to just hook it back up.

I wouldn't recommend modding the plug. What's wrong with just plugging it back in?

Don't ask me, I'm not OP

I wouldn't mod it, I would hopefully find out what type of connection it is and simply buy a molex converter cable or something, if it even exists... And I've already reassembled it once, lugged it in, and find I had rough looking lines through my letters. I disassembled again and went over with high grain sand-paper, but still, I'm going to pull my hair out if it's still not right

Haha, I meant to say I agree but I forgot.

hot glue a wire into the connector

It might be possible to wire it up to an led strip adapter which connects to your power supply. But you'd need to be comfortable soldering and there no way to know for sure the LEDS in the lettering is rated for same voltage. The best thing is to just connect back to the PCB, are you trying to mod it so you can turn it on or off?

 

EDIT: if this is a temporary thing just to test it, maybe AA battery and some spare wire?

 

EDIT EDIT: I'm not sure if the lettering itself has an in line resistor, so applying direct voltage could damage something.

You should be ablet to use the 5V from a molex connector.

So I found my Multimeter...

With the GeForce Experience you can adjust the Voltage of the LED's in Percentage from 0% up to 100%

I made couple of measurements on my ASUS 780Ti's and here are my results:

 

100% - 6.07V

90% - 5.55V

80% - 4.95V

70% - 4.35V

60% - 3.74V

50% - 3.13V

40% - 2.53V

30% - 1,92V

20% - 1,31V

10% - 0,69V

1% - 0.11V

 

 

 

 

 

Get something like this: and chop of the SATA end. You will only need 2 wires.

This is much more work than actually connecting it back onto the card.

Yea, I'm going to just hook it back up. Thank you anyways tho
