I installed an EVGA 3060ti FTW3 Ultra 2 days ago, it was working fine, the LED was on with the rainbow effect the whole time & used the GPU for 2 days while installing software & drivers. 

Yesterday I downloaded Precision X1 (latest version) from the EVGA webpage, I installed it & it also installed something called LED Control, I clicked on next &  after that Windows tried to restart the computer but since the installer was still running I cancelled the restart & went back to the installer, It needed to update the firmware so I clicked on next, it started installing the firmware & the fans started spinning at max during the whole process, then it finished & I closed it, then I noticed 4 red leds on top of the GPU power conectors blinking & making the LED colors restart with every blink. I decided to restart the computer to see if they would go away after that.

But the 3 red leds have been blinking since that, I tried uninstalling Precision 1 from Windows & restarting but it didnt worked. The card is working but I dont know if it will cause problems, overheating or the meaning of the 3 red leds. Also I noticed the fans work, whe I start the computer the start spinning normaly but the stop after a few seconds.

 I already tried the troubleshooting section for Precision X1 & it didnt worked. The 3 LEDs continued after uninstalling PX1 & LED Sync, rebooting in Safe Mode, deleting drivers with DDU, rebooting, re-installing the lates Nvidia drivers with&without installing GeForce Experience, turning off the PC for 2-3 minutes, rebooting & re-installing PX1 with & without LED Sync. This time it didnt tried to update the firmware. It still didnt worked.

I also tried other things like disabling CSM & Fast Boot, enabling Resizable BAR Support, Above 4G Decoding & ERP.

Im running an
Aorus B550 Elite V2 AX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
EVGA 600 GD PSU 600w
Kingston HyperX FURY RAM DDR4 16GB 3200mhz x1 on Slot 2

    I've noticed something similar on my 3060 ti FTW3 Ultra. I am also seeing the 3 red power LEDs (the ones on the back side of the power connectors) flashing at random intervals (anywhere from 15 to 40 seconds between flashes). I generally don't pay much attention to those LEDs because they are kinda hidden in my rig, but I just noticed this today for the first time. I did update my bios a few days ago when I did the upgrade of PX1 to the latest version. Like the OP, my fans went to full blast during the flash process, but as I understand it, that is normal behavior while flashing the bios.
     
    For reference, I have FSP 650 watt PSU (80+ titanium), and each pcie header has it's own cable from the PSU (no pigtails in use).
