So I did have msi drop setting and go full speed ahead on my gigabyte aorus but with big fans/heat sink it survived
once I did this to the clock settings they stayed put and no runaway tdp

Looks like sometimes the software looses control on the cards, this happened sometimes here too. Thanks for the tip.
For mining purposes, I always set TDP bellow 80%, no voltage added, fans at 100%, Temperatures limited to 75ºC maximum, also all my cards are on an open case with strong ventilation and they're all custom cards with beef coolers and at least/minimum 2 fans each.
This thread scares me a little, since my rig stays online 24/7, I was thinking in these Gigabyte 1070GTX Mini cards, but they're too expensive here in my country, I think the dual fan Galax 1070 GTX Mini OC is a better choice.
yeah i have mined with cards since 2011 and sometimes the cards drop the software mostly msi afterburner and just go full blast.
So any card with a really good cooling system stands to do okay but the mini cards with 1 fans and a small heat sink can suffer.
so far I have used these nvidia
aorus 1080 ti = dropped msi setting
gigabyte 1070 itx = no issues since I set to third party.
msi aero 1070 itx = no issues as it is a msi
msi aero 1080 ti = no issues as it is a msi
zotac 1080 ti founders = no issues set at third party.
asus 1080 ti blower turbo = no issues set at third party.
zotac 1080 mini = no issues set at third party.
asus 1070 strix = no issues set at third party
msi 1070 gamer = no issues a msi card
zotac 1060 mini = no issues set at third party
zotac 1050 ti = no issues set at third party
pny 1080 ti founders = no issues set at third party.
Someone else has complained about his 1080 ti an aorus doing a jump from 60 tdp to 85 tdp I told him try the third party setting.
that was in my main alt coin thread.
