AGP LED aims to protect your motherboard from being damaged by over voltage of AGP card. When AGP Protection Technology is implemented, this motherboard will automatically detect the voltage of AGP card and prevent your chipsets from being burnt out. Please note that if you install an AGP card with 3. 3V, which is not supported by VIA K8T800 chipset, the AGP LED on the motherboard will light up to warn you the possible damage of the exceeding voltage.
