The LED's on RAM

[Rubycon]

I know it's bling, rice, whatever but!

They do go crazy when a lot of memory is being accessed. What is the triggering mechanism? If a box is messed up (NO POST) they will flatline. (just one green). 4400PRO memory modules by Corsair.

Nobody has seen these?

they indicate how active the ram is.

They just indicate activity.

They are indicators of how fast the LEDs are blinking.

you answered your question in your OP when you said "They do go crazy when a lot of memory is being accessed."

Perhaps but what *is* making them go crazy? For example anyone in audio knows you can set up an LM3914 to drive LED's in 3dB steps to indicate amplifier power levels, etc. What's the metric here? It's obviously not the actual memory capacity.

Hi, I haven't seem them but, sounds like leds were added to the outputs of the Addressing chips and the leds are just showing the addresses being accessed. Maybe?
Hope this helps a little, Jim
