I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around how all that works.

 I really need to sit down and read about the tech behind this, but, well, life is pulling me in other directions right now.

 Trying to figure out why my 2080ti Windows bminer rig decides to reset the GPU clock and fan settings from time-to-time, and that's aggravating in and of itself, considering the other balls I'm juggling...

EDIT: Seems the 2080ti causes bminer to crash and auto-restart with a 200mHz overclock. The auto-restart seems to cause the fans to reset. Testing now with a 150mHz overclock, but glad I'm able to narrow things down. The Zotac 2080ti does not seem to recognize the fans with Afterburner, so forced to use some other tool to manage the clock/fans. Using EVGA Precision XOC to manage the Zotac, and first time I've used that suite of tools...
