I got a request not sure if you will do it but think about it.  Please  .

Sense the DEV of afterburner said he won't support anything over 8GPUs and calls mining crazyness . lol

which isn't any more.

is there a way you can link AM to use other OC clocking software or come up with something built into awesome like ab and the AB Server . it might benefit you better in the long run .

I'll even pay extra for it , if needed ... as a bought add on with a one time charge Smiley .  
Thanks for your suggestions on this.

Developing and maintaining overclocking libraries for AMD and nVidia myself would probably take quite some time. I've also looked at alternatives like nVidia inspector that can be launched via command line to do clocking.

Are there any other good solutions out there to integrate with?

Whats silly is afterburner works fine with 10 GPUs, so clearly it's not a 8GPU limitation. It only crashes when you do 11+ GPU. Sounds like laziness or antipathy on Afterburner Dev's part, which is unfortunate.

When setting up a new rig, instead of Afterbuner, I've recently started using asus GPUTweak on all my rigs to set baseline power and fan profiles for 12 GPU rigs beforehand.

For managed miners, I then have in the execute additional commands section, "nvoc *coreclock* *memclock*" (3rd party utility) to set the core and memory clocks, and "nvidia-smi -pl *watts*" (nvidia utility) to set the power levels. It's not as easy as afterburner, but it is for sure more reliable. I do like that nvsmi takes wattage numbers for input instead of a % amount, which can vary depending on different cards TDP factory settings. Can't use this for profit miners at the moment unfortunately, i'm hoping something similar will be considered for them in the future.
