I love this case but i really dislike the Blue HDD led since it doesn't match with anything else in my build which is black and white/silver themed.

 

It would be great if there was a way to disable it through the BIOS but if not then that's cool as long as there is a way to do so without harming anything.

unplug it from the motherboard?

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I unplugged both but the led still lights up when the hard drive loads.

Can that be disabled too?

you need to unplug the hard drive led, not the power led..

theres no way that a hdd led should be on if its unplugged..

Disconnecting both the Power and the HDD one did the trick. 

Thanks :)
