... Also noticed yesterday my led temps did not change to my card when over 60c. XOC showed green as my temps went to 60c+ but did not show green on my GPU they stayed blue. 1080Ti iCX

I think the issue is that the Hardware Thermal LEDs only change based on the following sensors: GPU#1 / Power#4 / Memory#3
Even though Precision XOC may say they should be green, it may not be true on the hardware side.
Precision XOC seems to change the displayed LED temperatures in the main window based by default on the hottest sensor of each category, but the hardware itself doesn't appear do to this.
You can also change to another sensor using left click on the temperatures
If one of the sensors is below or above the threshold you set inside Thermal LED, the LEDs in Precision XOC are also updated based on this.
TL;DR:
Precision XOC window only display Thermal LED colours based on active sensor temperature in software.
Hardware changes Thermal LED colours based on sensors GPU#1 / Power#4 / Memory#3.
Thanks @CriticalHit_NL for looking into this and being able to give a more detailed analysis into whats going on, much appreciated :)
and you're right, the hardware thermal LEDs are using specific sensor probes that are not the same defaults on the software end.
But the issue I'm having is actually the Hardware thermal LEDs are not changing colors
regardless of the current GPU temp across the board.
I know this because if I'm putting the GPU under load and I check XOCs main window and sensor map, every sensor probe is showing +40c/+50c, so we
should see the Hardware LEDs changing at this point right? but it's not. The problem is they're not updating at all even though every sensor is at a high enough temperature to change colors.
Here's a screenshot I took while I was gaming.
https://imgur.com/EODqbSwI opened the settings window as well to show what settings I've edited.
With this data (especially the sensor map window), we would presume that at this point the Hardware thermal LEDs should be green by now, but instead it's all still blue.
But here's where things got a lil silly.
I ran some more tests (now putting the GPU under load with Unigine Superposition) and I found a weird temporary "fix" during all this.
As soon as I clicked the settings gear icon on PXOCs main window (bottom right), the hardware thermal LEDs instantly changed to the correct colors (Green and Red, since my GPU was under load).
And after a few more test runs, this temporary "fix" was consistent.
Weird right? the act of opening the settings window is what triggers the "code" to display the Hardware thermal LED colors correctly.
But the keyword here is "temporary" because it doesn't stick.
As soon as you close PXOC and re-open the program, the hardware thermal LEDs will go back to not working correctly until you open the settings window.
And you don't even need to do anything special with the settings window, you just click it open and you can immediately close it.
It's practically the same silly fix we've had to do with the Fan Curves not activating at boot.
Let me know if this works for anyone else, or if I'm just late to the party
hopefully @desini can also confirm if this works since you're the only other one that pointed out this issue that I've seen so far.
TL;DR:Hardware Thermal LEDs not changing even if all sensors are above high temperatures. Definitely a bug.
Found weird temporary "fix" by just clicking open the settings window in Precision XOC, after that, the Hardware Thermal LEDs should be working as it normally should.
Unfortunately the temporary "fix" will reset after closing the software or doing a system reboot.
