I've got 2 led fans in my case that is currently 4 years old. I was looking at the sad state my case is in. For some reason the Temp LCD in the front doesn't work at all anymore and the power and reset buttons do not light up either. That doesn't really bother me thought. What bothers me is my LED fan in the rear of the case use to have 4 BRIGHT blue LED in it and 3 have gone out and 1 is still on but not fully lit and is barley on at all. Then last week the side fan which also has 4 blue LEDs in worked up until one went out. 3 of the LEDs are fully lit and one isn't on at all.
Here is my question. Is it ok to simply cut the wire to the LEDs to make them not light up or is there a safer solution to what I want to do (I just don't want the LEDs on at all anymore. I moved past the "blink light phase" in my computer building and think the bright lights and windows in computers are tacky now. The fans still run and work perfectly but the LEDs are the problem right now. I don't want to trash them because I am wanting to save some money and put the side fan in the back so I have 2 80mm fans back there and I have another 80mm fan I'm going to put in the side.
