Hi,
This is part of the overclocking feature (not available in Free Edition). If you select a miner in the Awesome Miner main application and go to the GPU tab in the lower part of the screen, you will find "GPU Clocking". Via this feature you can adjust clocking settings and fan settings for your GPU's. The feature works for both Windows and Linux based miners.

I don't think it was the rich who bought out all the GPUs which ended up with people having to pay over $1000 for a 1080Ti. The reason the GPUs were sold out because mining was very profitable and many miners got involved and there was a huge demand and not enough supply. Due to the fabrication process there is a limit on how many GPUs can be manufactured. Hence why there was a premium for many of them.

I remember the 1080Ti were pulling like $10-15 a day back in Q1 2018 and with a price of $1000 it only had a 60 day ROI, but since it could be resold it had a ROI of maybe 15 days or so. So people figured it was worth the risk to overpay. Nobody knew that weeks later the markets would start to turn and crash. Same thing happened back in early 2014. And most likely will happen again in the future.

And that is why we should make it even easier for them?

It also is the most unfair distribution possible.
