And you have checked that they are not just for decoration? Does the card malfunction, your not giving us much info here.

sry dude, they arent for decoration they are fault LED's, i have found they relate to a power problem, i think i have sorted it, a friend realised one of the soldered connectors on the bk of the mobo was loose causing it to touch the case thus shoting it out, we think its sorted but only time will tell, Thx tho

I'd send it back for a new one, if something on the card itself was 'loose'.

I have the same card and had the same problem when I installed mine.
If I recall correctly it was one of my power cables touching the videocard which automatically made the fans spin like hell to prevent overheating.
Think there are sensors on the pcb of the vidcard which detect contact with other devices/cables etc, pretty cool stuff though.
