How do you keep them cool? Mine are close like that and have a tough time with temps.

Heavily underclocked Smiley

i have 100 Nitro's running and i turned on the led indication color for the heath of the PCB Board
Checked my power meter and it was at 10.43kW, i turned them all off and i checked again. 10.42kW.
So i put them back on :p

100? Nice, pretty great amount, wish I had that much too to mine with. Tongue

Single GPU carrying LED light doesn't take more than a watt. I'd never suggest you to turn it off since it looks pretty beautiful than the money saved with a watt.

Haha, it's kind of handy as well, they change when the pcb gets to hot. So at this moment, they're all blue (which is good) as soon as they turn red, i know something is going on Smiley

Here's a picture:

Apparently, somewhere in the vicinity of 0.04W, so i wouldn't even waste time thinking about it... You've probably wasted way more pwer typing and reading in this thread than your leds will use over the next couple of months Wink

The color and type determines the reqruired voltage. This ranges from 1.8V for a certain red, through 2.4V for reds, oranges, greens, yellows. Violet, UV, blue and white go up to about 5V.

Low current LED's go down to 1mA at 1.8V (red) for their rated output, which is 1.8V * 0.001A = 2mW or 0.004W.

Most common LED's use 20mA at 2V or so, so about 40mW (0.04W).

Large LED's can use up to 5V and 0.6A, or 3W, and bigger ones are coming out all the time. The voltage pretty much stays the same, but the current goes up.

The circuits used to drive LED's do not always supply full voltage and current. If less voltage and current is supplied, the power is less. Resistors are often used to limit current to the LED so it is not destroyed.

Everything else being equal, 10 diodes will indeed use 10x as much power.

Fun of star wars light swords then I guess Smiley

But yeee such difference is fractional and can be omitted.

OK if thats <= 1 watt then it makes no sense... Thank you for kind replies.

I would guess "fractional watt", as low power LEDs like those are still more efficient than anything used in "lighting" type LED bulbs/tubes.

less than a single watt Smiley it may hit 2 watts in that moment when you changing color , if you have card with a multiple color led , like RX 480 Nitro 8GB Wink

That's probably a damn idea, but I'll ask anyway. How many watts does led light take on GPU? Does it make sense trying to unplug such light? Assuming of course it is possible. Your are probably laughing right now... well at least I could make your day Cheesy

Haha very funny!!
I don't think those leds spend any significant energy.
Anyway what has to do with bitcoin or Altcoins?
I think that your question is not in the right place try to ask this in a forum of electricians Smiley
