Hey guys, and hopefully someone from support that can help me, I only got my new gtx 1060 ftw about a month or two ago and I've noticed in the last few days that my LED lights on the end of the card aren't turning on when the PC starts up like the rest of them are. They have power, but the last 1/3rd section of the card seems to have to "warm up" like a fluorescent bulb to turn on fully. They flicker on and off getting a little brighter each time for about 5-10 minutes after start up until finally turning on in full brightness. Once they're on fully they stay on, but for the first 5-10 minutes they do their weird little ritual. Here are some photos to show what I mean:
Lights "turning on", you can see the other sections fully lit here.


Another view:

And here they are fully turned on after many minutes of ??????

 
So i mean what can I do to fix this, is this a known bug or am I kinda out of luck and looking at an exchange? Any help is appreciated.

    Playing around with the settings inside the led visualizer, or the appearance led tab inside precision xoc might fix the issue.

    Try setting other color (like red / green) to see if this happens as well.
    It might be a faulty blue color on the led.
    RMA would be the only solution if that's the case (never saw anybody fix the leds on these GPU's).

    Case: Asus Z370-G Box / MB: Asus Z370-G / CPU: Intel I7 8700K / Mem.: 16GB (2x8) 3000Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 / GPU: GTX 1080TI FTW3 / A.I.O. W.C: EVGA CLC280 / PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W
