White led power indicator flashes

[sickaid]

Iam an owner of a Gigabyte gtx1060 6gb G1 for about 4 months now.I played many games on this and everything worked fine until i started playing Assasins Creed Unity.In some menus the white led starts flashing (the one above the 8 pin connector which indicates power stability) but during the game its turned off (which should be).I have it set to factory OC via Aorus graphics engine.Oh my psu is 600w.Any idea whats happening?Its the only game that does that.

Check power connections from PSU to card. Check that the PSU voltages are in tolerance.

This light signifies that the power coming into the card isn't right.

The connection is ok,i double checked.I know that the led flashing is a power indicator warning.The weird thing is that it only does it in this game only (only in the menus were the fps hit 200+).If it was a psu prob i think it woud keep flashing no matter what i do.

Not necessarily.
The more current a card draws...the lower the voltage goes at the card regardless of PSU due to line loss.
Also, many PSUs also exhibit lower voltages as the current increases.
So in the menus it could be that the card is drawing tons of current...OR....it could be that in the menu the card oscillates as far as drawing current and either of these things cause the voltage to go out of spec and you get the light flashing.
I might not worry about it as long as you don't have any other bad indications.

Will a more powered psu help?I dont have any other bad indications.

If you don't have any other bad indications, I think there's a good chance that you never will, and you may just be able to leave it be.

One thing you could do is look at the voltages of the PSU when it's doing it and make sure they are in spec.

You could do this with a meter or software...but as I said...I may not even go that far if it wasn't causing me any problems.
