Ok, I feel kind of noobish to admit this..

Problem behind this was that I connected my display to mobo while I was configuring the rig. I've done this with mining rigs and it has not been a problem so far. When I switched to one of the GPUs, everything started working perfectly.

I've tried both ways of installing the drivers and it doesn't seem to have any effect. What do you exactly mean by blacklisting? I've just selected the proprietary nvidia driver from driver manager.

Should I be able to adjust the Powermizer settings instantly after modifying the xorg.conf file with coolbits? Or does the overclocking get enabled only once the system reboots with the modified xorg.conf file?

Hi guys,

I've been trying to overclock my GPUs on linux for way too long now and I'm about to lose my mind.

I've tried all of the advices and tips in this thread numerous times. I have tried running Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Debian. 17.10 AND 16.04 versions of all these.

And no matter what I do and what version of Linux I'm running, the same problem persists: xorg.conf resets every time I reboot the system or even just log out.

Does anyone have any suggestions anymore? I have tried every possible solution I've come across while trying to troubleshoot this but nothing has worked.

My setup:

Asrock H110 pro btc+
Intel i7-7700K
4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-2400
5 x Zotac Geforce GTX1080ti (blower model)
2 x Corsair RM850X
32gb usb3.0 stick/some random hdd (tried running on both of these)

I'm literally clueless. All help is much appreciated.
