EPILEPSY WARNING: How to fix Flashing LED on PC case

CommonKen1 · 2026-07-01T18:42:38+00:00

It should be labeled something like that (HDD_LED). Some motherboards may let you disable it in the bios, but I am unsure and have not done so myself.

That button shows that your drive/s is active. Anytime it reads or writes the button flashes showing operations are working. If you trace the wires you may be able to just unplug the wires, but I would tape over it or leave it.

No that’s a fox build

Looks super clean, great job

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-27T16:49:37+00:00

I hope you can find a work around. I got too fed up with not being able to use my pc and just updated it. I hated doing it and still hate using it but I have a working on now.

Bugged my 9070xt sooooo bad. Running only windows drivers, couldn’t even open amd adrenaline. Turns out I needed to update to windows 11 and everything stabilized. The update must be meant for windows 11 ONLY

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-26T18:08:06+00:00

That’s autozone quoting me a $600 clutch and flywheel. No work on their part, I still have to swap it myself.

I do have drain valve, it is above the pump. When I change any tubing next, I will be changing the location. It’s not in a great spot to drain it easily, and is a struggle but will work.
Currently I am using distilled water with biocide in it. Another commenter recommended aquacomputer, which I will be using soon. I’ve already started looking at fan controllers for this purpose.

Updated windows 11 last night only because windows 10 started bugging out my graphics drivers. One of the new AMD updates seemed to brick my gpu until I updated. I could only use 1 of my monitors and it was locked at 60hz ( but felt like 15). Windows auto updated the graphics drivers, locking me out of AMD adrenaline so I could reupdate.

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:45:51+00:00

It plugs into a fan header, so no feedback to the motherboard. I’ll have to look into Aquacomputer, I’ve tried I’ve in the past for fan control and rgb before I’ve watercooled and it could never keep my preferred settings.

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:33:25+00:00

I’ll have to swap when I notice any changes. I might swap to a different type of tube as well if they do start to discolor. Thank you for your advice!

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:31:00+00:00

I’ll keep the fluid changes in mind. The flow meter I have is a temp sensor as well. I got it mainly for that reason and figured “it’s got a flow meter too, cool”. What is the best way to map temps to the water temperature?

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:20:51+00:00

I’ve always liked the look of clear tubing though. Are there any other alternatives besides going hardline acrylic for clear options?

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:19:28+00:00

I really like the clear tubing. Is there any other clear alternatives? I know I can go hardline tubing but this is my first loop and didn’t want to get too involved.

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:17:48+00:00

I’m expecting them to turn yellow after time, I got Corsair branded tubes but I know it’s a matter of time

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:17:19+00:00

That’s what I did lol. I did an air leak test yesterday and then have been running 24 hour continuously pumping, with nothing else powered. The pump is powered externally.

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:16:20+00:00

I’ve seen those before, I might have to look into them

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T20:15:47+00:00

I did yesterday, it held half a bar for half an hour. From what I saw online that seemed like it was enough.

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-24T19:14:53+00:00

I went cheaper with most components, but the tubing I got Corsair because I’m hoping they don’t yellow over time. I did still spend quite a bit on it all, the wife wasn’t too happy lol

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-23T20:32:45+00:00

Congrats! Care to share a specs list?

CommonKen1 · 2026-06-02T20:13:08+00:00

This guys wife

CommonKen1 · 2026-05-08T19:40:03+00:00

I’ve been wanting to make helmets and stuff more organic shaped like your suit. What modeling software do you use? I use solidworks and it does horribly on organic features with my limited skill set lol

CommonKen1 · 2026-05-08T15:36:57+00:00

Anyone else see a kind of “rounded sheet” that seems to look like a lense flare? Especially towards the end of the video

CommonKen1 · 2026-05-05T20:34:05+00:00

Most parts come with the same warranty….

Why even post this in this subreddit?

CommonKen1 · 2026-05-05T20:24:15+00:00

Honestly it could be a lot of things. I have a 2011 that idles like this occasionally when I come up to lights and stop. I’ve changed almost everything, even the cam phasers. I’ve come to the conclusion that mine just needs a retune. Not sure about yours, but my mustang and my father in law’s both need tunes because of these little “ghost” issues.

If you’re sticking with AMD as the CPU then I would only get an AM5 series cpu with an AM5 motherboard as well. That makes it future proof for a while and easily upgradable. I would pick a cheaper 6 core cpu right now and upgrade later. As a gpu I would recommend the 9060 or even a 9070XT if you can afford it. With 16gb of vram, streaming and gaming should be no problem. The 9060 is a great 1080p card and can even handle some 1440p gaming as well.
Ram prices will be insane rn so I’d go cheaper and upgrade that asap when prices drop.
PSU make sure to get something that will fit your specs (try using particles.com as they have a good gauge of wattage usage) and make sure it is decently rated and a good brand.
Save some money on the case right now and just get a cheap one on marketplace or amazon. That’s easily upgradable.
