Mine dont have any led ON behind cables connectors 
Well a "shocking" quite literally thing just happened to me. So i noticed a few of nights ago that i heard what sounded like bacon sizzling i looked around looked in my case nothing. I hear the sound again coming from my PC and there were sparking coming from behind the graphics card! This never happened at all with my founders 1080ti so i'm assuming its the card i'll keep you informed if we know anything else. and mabye someone can help me?

I'd send it back, there's no way that's going to end well.
Fans on my aorus 2080ti extreme didn't seem to work properly until I installed and ran the aorus engine software. Seems like I need to have it running for the fans to work properly. Temps are around 37 idle and 76 after gaming with fans hitting around 70% according to HWINFO64 with aorus engine running. If I don't start the app, temps are hitting 90+ with fans only sitting at 30%. Using latest NVidia drivers and latest bios from Gigabyte support page. Anyone else with this issue? Would really rather not RMA if it can be sorted with bios / driver update.
Eh it might be one of the better ones on here but it could still be a lot better for the price, the Trio destroys it from what I can see. I assume you're not referring to the Aorus logo, in that case I have no LEDs on next to my PCIE connectors.
Send it back now in my opinion before it dies entirely. What PSU do you have out of curiosity?
A couple people have had that issue, mine worked out of the box, I have noticed that Afterburner won't show my fanspeed, it says it's 33% all of the time which isn't true. As much as Aorus Engine sucks at least it's not giving me false data. I have no Scanner option on my Afterburner either yet it's up to date. I'm currently idling at 30c with 0% fanspeed. I'll report back with gaming temps now that the semi passive option is on. Afterburner and Precision have no option for semi passiveness on this GPU. Seems unique to Aorus Engine.
Try rolling your drivers back to an earlier one. I have a game that is crashing when it didn't a few days ago, the only change is the driver and a game update but the dev blames the driver.
I’ve a 1300watts psu mate install of fresh windows d/l updates now then nvidia drivers .
On the card or motherboard?
Unfortunately the card my brother ordered is also going back, the screeching noise is terrible.
Gigabyte have rushed this launch. Its an amazing looking card no doubt but it runs hot compares to other top end cards from EVGA, ect. I don't know what the problem is, compared to the EVGA cards the heat sink looks small and the middle fan is likely the cause of the horrible LOUD noise when this thing spins up full blast. It brought back memories of 6990 lol
But its not the sound that the problem or the high temps but the Coil Whine. A £1300 card and you tell me they would not test coil whine and remove those from the manufacturing process. If you look on EVGA forum they will RMA all coil whine no problem. But overclocks have informed me they don't consider coil whine as a defect and only thing left is to get a refund and order again.
shame such a beautiful card.

PSU is plugged in, not fitted in case or anything just plugged in outside of case. Cranked power/temp sliders in Afterburner - 77c fans on max case on side(open). Card holding 2070 in Valley, although Valley never crashed before. Will fire up a game for 30mins see how I get on. Then I will OC the CPU back to 4.6.
Wish me luck haha
Wish me luck haha
I concur, the card looks great and it doesn't feel as cheap as the 1080Ti Xtreme but the performance is lacklustre for the price. Mine seems to be one of the better ones on here but still far from worth the £1300. I was very surprised to hear that it was only a 2.75 slot card and was shorter than the others, it's shorter than the Trio! The smaller fan is definitely the source of the whine too, smaller fans always do that. FTW3 or Strix seem to be the only good high end options right now. It's a shame the Strix is expensive and the FTW3 is ugly.
Yeah, no LEDs on for me at all, maybe that's a sign of a problem?
