Hi!  New member / user / and miner.  Thank you for all the work put into this project.  I am trying to use an ASUS Prime Z270-P mobo.  I downloaded the image off the OP and have my miner up and running but my cards are not overclocking or manual fan control.  I get an error for each card regarding fan control (I specified 90%).  Is this mobo not supported or am I doing something wrong?  I specified 600 mem overclock.  I am currently using 2 GTX1070 and 1 GTX 970 in this rig.  All 3 are running at stock speeds like they do in Windows.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  

PS.  I could not find the 2nd and 3rd items mentioned for the BIOS changes you have talked about for the PRIME Z270-A.  Is this the reason?  Any help greatly appreciated.  

Is your monitor connected to the motherboard?

Did you at anytime boot with only one GPU attached?

If either of these is the case: ensure the monitor is attached to the primary GPU ( the one connected to the 16x slot closest to the CPU )

then follow this process:

Thank you this worked.  The fans are definitely working now and the overclock seems to have stuck but I am not getting the hash rate I would expect for the mem clock speed when compared to same card in Windows 10 using claymore 9.5.  I notice my card is not at full power and is staying in P2 state in the NVIDIA-SMI window.  Is this normal?  Huge thanks for the help!

Powerstates are weird in Linux; usually don't change if you issue the command to change them.  I suspect this particular driver disallows nvidia-settings control over them.

Also you will need to use a higher OC offset to match the results from windows; as the OC curve is different in linux.
