Title: LEDwiz's motherboard or powered card?
Post by: squirrellydw on March 23, 2007, 03:58:15 pm

Is it better to have the LEDwiz's pluged in to the MOBO or a PCI powered card?  I have 3 LEDwiz's

If you are supplying the LEDWiz cards with 5v from your power supply then I don't think that there is any problem.

I think you are fine either way.. either direct to motherboard.. or to a PCI add-on card.

I have run into weird problems when I tried to plugin my ledwiz to a powered USB hub, so I'd avoid that scenario if possible.
