GTX 1060 fan issues/compatibility question

[Consequence]

So I recently decided to upgrade my 5 year old mini-itx build for something that packs more of a punch with the latest parts.

The part list is here:

The problem I'm having lies with the gtx 1060. My first 1060 sounded like a wind tunnel after start up when the drivers were installed. Second gtx same issue but only after I launched a game.

I've done my research and tried everything that I could. Tried a new card, reseating it, uninstalling the drivers with ddu, and nothing.

Talked to a brain dead Asus representative and they mentioned that the motherboard is incompatible with the graphics card which I find hard to believe because that's the most popular mini-itx motherboard made by Asus alongside with a GPU that's manufactured by Nvidia/Asus. Not to mention the Gtx 10XX is the most popular GPU to date.

Am I doing something wrong on my end? Any suggestions for a quick fix, everything I bought is still returnable.

I would just download software such as Trixx to manually adjust the fan curve. Is the GPU getting proper airflow?

GPU is getting proper airflow with and without the two additional fans. I have the two additional fans currently across blowing air into the case. Will Trixx override everything? Currently I'm not even getting readings on the GPU tweak software.
