I always use custom fan curve setting in MSI Afterburner or Sapphire Trixx. I set the fan speed to 5 points above the GPU's temperature. For example, if the GPU's temp is 52C, then the fan will spin at speed of 57%, 65C temp 70% fan, and it always spin based on current GPU's temp. Can this custom fan curve setting be done via PhoenixMiner?

ALWAYS use 3rd party soft to control clocks, power and fans: OverdriveNtool for red and nvidiaInspector for green; don't use AB - it's shit. Don't use miners for controls.

AB works just fine. And will apply clocks at boot. Can nvidia inspector do that?

With a properly configured batch file that runs at startup, yes, it can.

So natively, it cant. Thanks.

With a power reduction on a 9 GPU rig of nearly 20 percent using NVIDIA Inspector over Afterburner, I think running a batch file at startup is a small price to pay.

sounds like he didnt know how to use AB to its potential. if you leave the power limit high, and dont play with the clocks, then of course it'll have worse power consumption.

all you have to do is drag the power limit lower and BOOM, lower power draw. its not complicated. he had it at 70, but more or less replicated a lower power limit with a more complicated process using nv inspector.

personally i run mine at 65, and actually increase the core clock to keep hashrates the same. power cannot exceed the limit, so it forces lower voltage, essentially the same thing he did, just using a different tool.

theres nothing wrong with AB. you can achieve the same results with both. you just have to know how to use it properly.
