I look forward to playing around with this in the near future once I get my gear 
 
Thanks for keeping this updated everyone.

Lately i switched from Precison X to MSI, then install EVGA LED Controller 1.2.1 - noticed strange behavior causing lower GPU performance. Unistalling LED solve the problem. It's interfering with MSI or sth?

Will be building my PDXLAN rig next week with 4-way SLI Titans with EVGA's 4-way bridge . . . can't wait to see it lit up!
 
Jacob, you all going to be there?
 
 

I see this is an old thread, but I just grabbed an EVGA GTX 770 4GB Classified and am quite annoyed by this bright white light on the side which serves no real purpose and I cannot control it (or so it seems). Why would anyone want such a light on the side of their GPU? Also, a follow up noob question, what is the plug directly next to the lights? Not the SLI attachments, but some other little plug with 10-12 pins. If anyone can help me out here that would be great, I hate to have spent nearly 500$ on a card that is so great but completely detracts from my overall system theme.

Welcome to the forum....those lights are not able to be turned off or dimmed.  Some people who don't like them either cover them up with some tape or take a marker and color them to dim them.  Keep in mind, anything you do needs to be reversible as it would void your warranty if you would ever need to RMA card.  These LEDs have been around since the 680 Classified and has become a Classified signature just like on MSI's Lightning cards.  Technically the lights are not pointless, they do serve a purpose.  Each one of the 5 LEDs is a tied to a voltage point on the PCB.  If one of the LEDs was not lit, it possibly would mean there is an issue with some component on the card.  If all are lit, everything is functioning properly.
 
Regarding the additional plug, that is for a Probe-It connector.  It is a small harness that can be used to directly monitor voltages for various items on the card with a digital multimeter (DMM).  The link below will take you to the product page.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

Hey Trabe3, 
Thanks for the response. I figured out about the probe it, that is pretty cool. As far as the LEDs go, I am going to commission a custom back-plate with a lip over the edge I guess, I cannot bear to put tape on this card :P . Maybe EVGA should think about moving the LEDs and changing their colors, they could perform the same task with out being an eyesore. Oh well. Again, thank you.

For the next software update can we get it to not show as an open program?  Would like it to just reside in the taskbar

Changing the color and location wouldn't be optimal, as these cards are meant for extreme overclocking, and the lights are meant to be easily seen through the LN2 gas steam and such. The placement has been in the same place for multiple generations now, and the only people that have a complaint are the ones that don't have an interest in extreme overclocking. Others just accept the lights or cover them.

The backplate sounds like a cool idea. Please share photos when complete.

I've used this software to create ground fx lighting on my case.   I soldered directly to the 12v lines for LED's and wired them to two 12v light strips and have control over the led's via the software.   It works wonderful.   I would like for you to add a option if its not too much to ask.    Strobe effect.  I'd like to cycle between 0 and 100% and enable the slider to control the strobe speed.   If this is possible it would look amazing.  Attached are pictures of the software working.   Strobe effect would just put it over the top for me.
 
 

Now that what I call thinking outside the box !         People like you makes coming here enjoyable.   Hope they heed your request, very good IDEA !

So updated to this version to control the SLI PRO, after rebooting only the top card's LED settings gets applied.
