Well after much frustration with my rigs crashing, I thought I had it figured out but the problem continued.

Originally I had setup SMOS but really didn't care for the simplicity of the interface or should I say lack there of and found nvOC.

As my rigs are remote in another state, it was even more difficult to diagnose.

For ease, I had my brother-in-law load up SMOS on both rigs and they have been running for over 4 days with under-volting (100W 1070 & 1070 Ti / 175W 1080 & 1080 Ti) and overclocking (-50 core 1070/1070 Ti, 200 core 1080 & 1080 Ti with 1100 Mem for the 1070/1070 Ti and 1000 for the 1080 & 1080 Ti). Mining ETH.

Whatever my issue was, it was an issue within nvOC. The question is why and what was causing the crashing issue.

Later this week, I plan on loading up a fresh copy of nvOC and see if the issue continues. Unfortunately I cleared the USB sticks we were using that had the nvOC OS on them. Had I though about it, it would have been good to have them to see if anyone could identify any issues. The only thing I really did was re-compile the miners.

It is difficult to pin-point when the issue really showed up as we were having to re-set the miners at least once a week and then eventually even would crash once daily. Both at the same time even on different algorithms. I tried multiple different mining programs, no over clocks, half overclock, full overclock. Nothing seemed to matter. 18-24 hours the crash was inevitable.

I wish I had more information on this, but wanted to get it into the forum in-case this ever happened to anyone else. I will update once I re-load up nvOC and see what happens.
