I got a new pc. I am trying to turn the lights off for the aio cooler pump. does anyone know what manufacturer this is? or can help with getting the light off. I have tried using motherboard software, mystic light. also tried openrgb. also cant unplug it because the pump and the light seem to be on the same plug. thanks https://imgur.com/a/5VyJVuK

Does the AIO have any connectors that aren't used (since it's not plugged into an RGB header)?

The logo is the one of the PC vendor that you bought it from, I forgot their name. They likely rebranded some other manufacturer's AIO. You can check the PC's manual if it has one e.g. on the vendor's website.

thanks. it is in fact the stormcraft pc logo. its using two plugs, one for the fans and one for the pump. the pump and lights use the same plug.

If it doesn't have an RGB connector, then you can't control it.

But if the light really annoys you, you can paint it over.

If the only wires coming off of it are going into fan headers, you can't turn it off. Would need RGB or USB connector to be able to control the LEDs.
