First, do you have any other cards installed?

Second, what BIOS revision is the board flashed with/to?

Lastly, a single GTX 1060 requires a solid 450w PSU, minimum.

The screen you see is because the card is in IDLE state, if you open up the render test (clicking the small "?" ) you will see the true speed used

Which PCIE x16 slot are you using?

Your board's PCIE2 slot is both x16 physically and electrically.

Your board's PCIE4 slot is x16 physically, but x4 electrically.

My video card, a GTX 960, will downshift the PCIe speed connection, but not the PCIe lane connection. At idle it will shift from PCIe 3.0 down to PCIe 1.1, as reported by GPU-Z. I don't get a reduction in the PCIe lane usage.
