Hey guys, Kind of a click bait in the title...

So, I have the GTX1070 Strix from ASUS and the backplate LED is not working properly. The blue LED is so dimm that the white is yellow and blue tones are redish or greenish

It is not software software related as I tested everything from Aura software reinstallation to the complete removal of the GPU.

 

Do you know what kind of LED is this? to look for a replacement, spare parts or something. It's ruinning my beautiful system xD There'is the posibility of warranty, but the GPU is

actually working just fine and I don't want to receive a used or refurbished GPU in exchange.

I thought this was gonna be a rant about PC cultures undeniable infatuation with RGB lighting... I got all excited...

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

I don't think the GPU lighting is faulty, I think its just the way they built the card. I have a STRIX 1080 and mine does the same thing, the light on the ROG logo is darker than the backplate one. If you figure out a fix I would be interested as well.

The only thing that comes to my mind is replacing the LED

Each RGB LED has 3 LEDs inside one red, one blue, and one green. The thing here is the blue LED is dying, that's my theory
