Nvidia overclocking script for Linux (useful for autostarting!)
Because I didn't want tools like GWE to launch on autostart and be on the background just to apply my overclock.
This just applies the clocks and exits. It's useful in that there is no way to save overclocks on Linux/Nvidia and they are
lost on every reboot, so nvoc fills in that gap.
Needs the proprietary Nvidia drivers to work.
Doesn't use root (so don't expect nvidia-smi functionality such as watt power limits on the future)
Grab the zip, unzip it and have a look at the files.
Edit the gpu0.conf file and set your preferred clocks in the Options section.
Now, we copy the configuration file to a special folder: sudo mkdir /etc/nvoc.d; sudo cp gpu0.conf /etc/nvoc.d/
Then place the nvoc script in /usr/bin.
Now you can run nvoc --apply anytime to apply your overclocking settings.
The whole point of nvoc is to have it autostart with the desktop session.
To have it automatically start with the system, open a terminal and run (Note that this only enables it for your user.):
nvoc --enable-autostart
To stop it from autostarting, run:
nvoc --disable-autostart
All done. Overclocks will now be applied as soon as you log into your desktop.
If you don't use a desktop (say, on a coin mining headless box) you could have the script run on boot via cron.
