Activity LED

Riggy · 25 Mar 2010 at 15:32

Hello everybody,

You'll probably think that this is a stupid question, but take into account I've done about 4 months worth of research and practice leading up to my very first custom build gaming rig. So I'm still a novice in this area

I have had a gander on this forums looking for an answer, but haven't found anything so far.

When building your own gaming rig, is the activity LED for your harddrive something is you have to install yourself? I mean, is it actually needed when building a rig?

Thanks in advance
Craig

I leave mine unconnected, it just annoys me.

There is no requirement to connect it up, it just gives you an indication that the HDD is in use I believe.

Thanks cmndr_andi, it annoys me on my current system as well. I'll just leave it unconnected then.

Thanks for your help.
