Can anyone solve this mystery?

Hi a while back i purchased two 560ti's

Today i was cleaning my pc from dust and noticed upon turning it on that my bottom gpu had blue led lights when switched on and my top one does not :S they are both the exact same cards KFA2 560ti the one with the flip fan design.

I checked the boxes and there is no mention of blue led on either of them.

so what does this blue led mean and why is it on one card and not the other ?

here is a pic

Maybe the blue LED stopped working on the top card.

Google your card and see if any reviews or pics show it with blue LED's.
 
theres nothing in the manual about sli making a blue led, i pulled off my sli bridge and it still stayed on :( so i dont think its that

i also disabled SLI in the nvidia control panel and it still stayed on :(

im stumped lol

The LEDs of one of the cards have probably burned out (overheated since its the top GFX card). Those LEDs are of the GFX card Fan so it gives a nice look while it spins.
 
Some GPUs have dual BIOS (one sometimes a LN2 bios) and often certain lighting will be turned on/off depending on which bios is in use. Sometimes you get situations like:

They have a high end really expensive board that has dual BIOS + switch + fancy lighting.
They have a second product below this that uses boards that failed to make the grade for the high end product but is still working perfectly fine - often these boards have the BIOS switch removed and while running the same BIOS they might be running from different BIOS "positions" one of which lights up the lighting that hasn't been removed from the board and the other does.


Or it could just be that the LEDs on one of the cards don't work.


EDIT: Looks like all the KFA2 560tis have dual bios so probably ones on one BIOS and the others on the other.
