Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out if i have an issue with my rgb on the card or if im just not doing something right. It seems the right side "horizontal normal mount" of the rgb portion stays white and doesn't change colors. The part im talking about starts just before the "3070" and continues to the FTW3 portion to the right. The left side of the card seems to function as normal. I don't think there are any other rgb lights of the card and if there are I don't see any. In the Px1 software under the LED option the left box seems to let me change things where as the right box does not change anything on or off or colors. If I select both static off the right part I described, the 3070 portion and the ftw3 just stays white while the left side goes dark as I selected. Ive real others are having rgb issues on their 30 series cards as well but since this is my first rgb lit card I wasn't sure if i was missing something. I at least wanted to give this a fair chance before i tries some sort of rma option. I know rgb is a small thing compared to if the card functions correctly otherwise but unless i choose an all white color option or a rainbow that seems to hide it kind of it just looks strange never mind not being able to shut the light off completely.

Yeah, I have the same card. I'm not sure what the right side box on the PX1 software does either. It doesn't seem to do anything when I change the settings. Only the left side changes the LED lights on my card. My card is lit all the way though all the way from the left to the FTW3 portion on the right so you might have a problem with your card. What I am concerned about is the fact that my card didn't update the firmware/Bios for the lighting when I first ran the PX1 software. I just got my card yesterday. Do the newest cards already come preloaded with the newest Bios/firmware? I have attached a pic showing my current BIOS and Firmware. Are these the latest?

blackened696, I hate to tell you this but I think your card is probably defective. It looks like some of your LED's are either missing or burned out somehow or maybe something is wrong with your cards LED controller. You should probably get on the phone with EVGA as soon as you can and let them know what is going on with your card. Good luck.

After sitting idle I noticed the white area is now yellow/green "I'm colorblind" but still the same issue as before with it being unchangeable and unable to turn off.

Yeah John. That isn't normal and you should definitely contact EVGA with the issue. Good luck.

Now the right potion doesn't light at all and is still uncontrollable. Still waiting to hear from support.
