Title: MSI Afterburner -- how to restore GPU overclock settings after a reboot?
Post by: dd2017 on June 29, 2017, 06:24:32 AM
I'm trying to set up my ETH mining rig for an automatic rebooting sequence. It all works fine, except that after every restart my GPU overclocking is reset back to defaults, which makes me lose the hash-rate if the rig continues to run like that.

The way to fix it is to manually run MSI Afterburner and change parameters. But how do you make it remember it after a reboot?

I searched online and people suggest clicking that button on the left with the Windows logo. In my case that button is disabled and I can't click it.

Then I tried to see if Afterburner supports command line parameters that I can invoke from my start-up script. But I couldn't find any.

Any solution to this, guys?

You can save 5 profiles which you can lock in with the padlock symbol. Also there is an option on the main screen to "apply settings on restart".

I think I solved this by removing all stored profiles in \Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Profiles. I had some of them duplicated. First close Afterburner, delete VEN*.cfg files, restart and redo all settings. Make sure you click the StartUp icon on the left at the end.

Thanks, guys. Deleted that config stuff, restarted Afterburner and it let me toggle that Windows logo button.

I don't know what exactly was the issue though...

You can also toggle "start with Windows" mode. It will be fully automatic then.
