How to adjust LED brightness according to CPU Load

[Xtrykr]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has had any experience making their LEDS dim/glow according to their CPU load. Thanks!

ummm. without some kind of custom software/hardware interface. i don't for see this even being possible to light up an LED!

there is a HDD output on the board but as far as i know(unless your using industrial design mobos. you won't even have a output to a LED!

i don't think its possible. well oviously anything... no! most.. things are possible. but it won't be very easy..

It probably would be possible with a serial port controlling an isolated circuit for the LED.
But unless you're a master programmer just forget about it

Well... I suppose you could simulate an output.. what if you used a temperature sensor on the cpu? The higher the temp, the brighter the LED. Not the same thing, I know, but may be the easiest way to do this.

Just my 2 cents.

of course its POSSIBLE :rolleyes:
its german xD
but it works..
i guess

yea i figured you could do it like that, now all we need is someone crazy enough to do it!

hm.. if i hadnt a circuit already i would built one for my unit 4, its not hard, soldering is sooo easy, its like lego :D

FrooP, you find the coolest electronics tuts. + rep man!
