I have a three GPU rig machine with tempcut off at 95.  Sometimes when the weather is really hot, the middle card, actually reaches 95 degrees.  It shuts off like it should, but then it never turns back on.  When I get home, its at ~40 degrees and is 'mining' at 0.000 khash/s.  Huh

Is there some kind of flag or setting I can add to my config file to tell it to 'restart' once its cooled down?  It happens about twice a week in the summer - I'd hate to underclock the cards for just a few hot hours in the afternoon.

What about try adding a fan to your rig to improve ventilation and decrease the GPU temp?
I don't think it is a good idea to have your card reaching 95 degrees twice a week.
