Is there a way to set the core clock in nvidia-smi? I now use globalcore 1556 in local.conf but it's doing nothing with my MSI GeForce GTX Gaming 1060 X 3G cards.

I like ethOS very much, but unfortunately the power usage of my ethOS rigs is 75 watt higher compared to my similar nvOC rigs.
I tried do to some changes in custom.sh but it's still not working. The core clock stays about 1750 MHz which results in this higher usage.

Code:
nvidia-settings -c :0 -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1500'
nvidia-settings -c :0 -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-800'

Why is this code not working? Do I need to change more?

[EDIT] I think I fixed this problem for the biggest part by myself. The globalpowertune was set to 72 because of the 60% of TDP 120W. But it seems like the MSI GeForce GTX Gaming 1060 X 3G has a minimum of 100W. So now I use globalpowertune 100 and the power usage from the wall is about 690W at this moment.

Still not perfect but acceptable. I'd like to experiment a little more with the core clock to get this at 675W. In nvOS I'm able to set the core with nvidia-smi to -800 but in ethOS it's only working till -200 Sad Is there a way to overrule this setting?
