Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention that I will be using 13 GTX 1070's so will I be able to use afterburner to tweak my settings?
If your running 1070's I would check out nvoc I'm running it on my 1070's and 1060's and its been rock solid for 3 weeks no down time I'm not a linux guy either but it took me 15 to 20 mins to setup also the NVOC thread is very active and always someone to help answer questions or trouble issues
