I have a hand full of windows rigs (5) and over the years with under 100 cards used maybe 35 runaway clock drops to top power.

Just curious, did you use any mining OS on Windows or operated all rigs manually? Also, did you use Afterburner for overclocking?

okay

windows 7

windows 10

using afterburner
using trixx
using zotac
using asus

all of them have dropped settings over the years.

smos almost never does.

@fk2. tommorow I will link

cables and meter that should work.

the best thing to make sure for windows settings to stick is

never update

never boot

and have indentical gpus.

Нузб I already see the reason why it keeps happening in your case. I've experienced that before too, but without bad consequences. OC software (any) is a) not that reliable, b) isn't really designed for our purposes and c) adds an extra risk factor as we need to load another piece of software in order to mine. It was one of the reasons I've switched to specialized mining software instead of writing endless batch files, eliminating the very need for Afterburner and such. Nowadays all my OC settings are configured and controlled by Awesome miner that I use (and I'm sure other mining OS/SW can do it too), so it's the same program that first sets overclocking values and then starts miners. If it crashes them mining process simply won't start (but I'm yet to see that crash).
