Hello everyone,
so i recently updated my Gaming-PC and replaced the old GPU and Motherboard with the 1060 OC GTX Strix and the Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura. Everything went fine as i am used to build and upgrade PCs for years now, especially for family and friends. The Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura runs the latest BIOS and the GPU is installed right. When i first turned on my Gaming-PC Windows 10 was loaded and listed all installed devices. However i will do a clear install of Windows 10 with the latest Drivers available. Besided i noticed something very strange. When my Gaming-PC is loading the BIOS of Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura the 1060 OC GTX Strix is spinning the three fans on full speed - after Windows 10 takes over and the latest NVIDIA-Driver is being loaded they get slower and finally turn off as intended and only turn on and off again under load. I have never experienced such a thing using Asus hardware. Is this normal, or is there something i might have overlooked? I suppose this could be a special feature of the Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura (could it be disabled?), an issue with 1060 OC GTX Strix BIOS (how to update?) or a defect (hopefully not). Furthermore i have another question. Even after upgrading my Gaming-PC i am affected by the annoying flickering-bug affecting the taskbars icons when interacting with the trash bin. As far as i know, this affects many people on different devices. Is there a legit bugfix or a workaround?
Your help is very much appreciated!
So long,
