Yesterday I've uninstalled the old PXOC and installed this new X1 (gtx 1080 card). I figured out everything I needed - setting the RGB the way I like it and making my custom fan curves. All seems good, no issues. But there is one thing that annoys me when my PC starts I see this huge Precision X1 logo, is there a way to disable it? Maybe editing some of the .xml/.cfg/etc files in the installation folder? Also one more thing that is annoying, the points in fan curves can't be moved with arrow keys, IMO that was an easier and faster way in PXOC to set them than using only mouse.

    I don't have the .exe they are talking about. The ones I have, don't have the .bmp of the splash screen.

    Set it to start minimized and you will not see the startup logo.

    Spoiler - But I don't Check "start minimized" any longer because I kind of like the new one.

    Guys I found a workaround. You need a program called dnSpy.
    0. Backup your PX18.exe just in case.
    1. Start dnSpy as admin (X1 must be off ofc) and open the PX18.exe. Navigate to PX18.exe\Resources\PX18.g.resources
    You will see (actually this is after step 4, I'm lazy to revert it.)

    2. Right click on splashscreen.png and click on Save Raw.
    3. Open the .png file with photoshop or perhaps even paint. Remove the splashcreen and save the file. It will be basically an empty .png. 
    4. Now Right click on splashscreen again and click on Edit Resources. From the 3 dots right of "data" choose the modified .png from previous step. 
    5. Click on PX18(0.3.19.0), then File -> Save Module.
    6. Enjoy splashfree windows boot :D.
