Accent Lights? How do you change them.

Thanks Dude! 

You need to put all the ed's as off.

 

System Fan LEDs

System Panel LEDs

System Speaker LEDs

System Touchpad LED

System LED Brightness to 0.

you can use my app as mentioned above  OR

 

u need to do it in two places,  BIOS for turn on,  and in windows for Desktop.

 

In the BIOS turn off ALL LEDS.

then in windows run Quickset -> Gaming and turn off all LEDs.

 

cheers

Hey nic wilson, whats up with lightfx changing my core clock speeds? How in blazes does that work? Seriously, the FSB jumps about 100Mhz when the Dell Quickset LightFX winamp plugin is active.

here's some info of before lightfx plugin for winamp is activated...seems normal.

Cycle Time (tRAS) 15
Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 21

 

So, according to this, memory speed increased, FSB went to 830ishMHz compared to 666, and it almost became a 3Ghz dual-core. Wow nice increase, but HOW THE HECK COULD LIGHTFX overclock my computer?? Im gonna test it to see if it actually did something.

Thanks so much!

 

Oh and also, this only occurs when the mucis is playing for the plugin, aka lights are flashing to music this supposed overclock occurs.

Hi,

 

I did not write the lightfx nor the winamp plugin so I cannot say.   It does however sound like a false reading from whatever software you are measuring it with though due to the activity of winamp.

Your tip works great - thanks!

Why couldn't Dell have supplied this info someplace? I searched all over and couldn't find it.
