    What power supply you got? 650 watt 800 or 1000? 800 should be enough 650 will be on the edge of maybe not working see how much your cpu needs/uses

    If all fine maybe the cable is not working of the gpu soo yeah

  2. I got this sign into my 3090 asus. Unplug the power cable, clear cmos and turn on your pc

    That’s an Asus TUF gpu if I recognize that logo correctly. Afaik the manual for Asus gpu’s states that if a 12vhpr to 8 pin PEG adapter cable is used, that RED LED will light up.

    Incorrect info in the other comment. There is nothing wrong here. I have 4070TI OC myself and had to research this to make sure.

    On the TUF 4070/TI, that power red light is actually a power is provided just fine indicator. Not sure why but that’s what it means in the TUF 4000 series, whereas in the last gen it was lack of power indicator.

    If you have no performance issues or black screens then you need not worry

    Presuming your pc is off, power indicator for no power. My 4080 super is the same when pc is off.

    Nothing unusual, just nvidia’s power connector overheating to red-hot again)

    It might require the 3x pci-to-gpu-connector cable, not your 2x pci-to-gpu-connector. See the two cables that lead to it? The middle one is not occupied, but this card might require it. I have two 4070Ti, one gigabyte aorus master and one gigabyte gaming. The aorus one requires all pins to be occupied/used, otherwise the pc won’t boot (I don’t have internal gpu). But the gaming one boots fine with just the two cables leading to it. (They both came with their own adapters and one had three cables and one had just two. I wanted to test the master in the second PC, where I had the 2-cable adapter, and it didn’t boot. Scared the crap out of me, until I realised this might be the culprit.

    Anyway, if this 2-cable adapter came with your GPU, the cause might be different.

    You might be using the wrong kind of power cable. 4070 has the 4 little pins on top no? Im not too sure i just remember reading about 4k series having issues with wrong types of power cables.

    There is a second smaller cord somewhere else on the card. Make sure that’s plugged in all the way. Happened to my 3070ti. Hopefully easy fix, gl.

    I’ve had old cards that have the led for “Power Okay” and also for “Insufficient Power”

    Could be either of those

    Edit: Apparently it’s for “Power OK” on this card

    I have an asus card eith a red light. It just indicates its recieving power.

    It’s just a power indicator light. My 2080 has the same thing.

  13. Check your cables, you may be having power issues and or poor transmission of power from or by your PSU. Be sure to check any extensions or aftermarket cables you may have.

    It says It supports “Team Red”

    If you use the adaptor then this light will show when your PC is off.

    I have that gpu asell. Is normal i think

  18. Go read the manual.
    Or at least give the full model name.

    That is the T1000 model. It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!… ever… until you are dead. Hope this helps.
