Thanks a lot for answer.
Do i need to install cuda8 or it is already instaleted with Additional Drivers or OS ?
I can use oveclock and fan control using nvidia-settings, right?

I did all you said.
When I try to start nvidia_gpus_oc.sh
Quote
#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsMemoryOffset[3]=100'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=100'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1'
nvidia-settings -a '[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=80'

I get errors:
Quote
ERROR: Error parsing assignment '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsMemoryOffset[3]=100'
       (Unrecognized attribute name).
ERROR: Error assigning value 80 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed'
       (Rig02:0[fan:0]) as specified in assignment
       '[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=80' (Unknown Error).

Then I tryed to change fan:0 to gpu:0, and have no second error. But fan didn't start.

When I add same commands for gpu1 I have one more error ofr gpu1

ERROR: Error parsing assignment '[gpu:1]/GPUGraphicsMemoryOffset[3]=100'
       (Unrecognized attribute name).

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

ERROR: Error assigning value 80 to attribute 'GPUTargetFanSpeed'
       (Rig02:0[fan:1]) as specified in assignment
       '[fan:1]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=80' (Unknown Error).

What is wrong now?

You don't need to install Cuda8 - already in the drivers.

You can set the fan one by one: Go to Nvidia X Server Settings and tick enable GPU Fan Settings and slide the bar to the desired speed and apply.

Here is downloadable working .sh file for you to check against, sorry about the adverts on this site and the link is only valid for 30 days:

Finally, you may have custom fan controls made by your board partner, which is incompatible with X Server Settings - so cannot be set via .sh
