Hi Folks -
I’m running into an issue when trying to overclock my 2070 Max-Q. Long story, and yes, I know mining on a laptop isn’t exactly advised or ideal, but I’m no longer using the thing and rather than sell it I decided to try booting it over to HiveOS and having it mine on Ethash.
I’d previously had it running on Windows with a cheeky +125 Core Clock and +750 Memory Clock with no issues, running stable, comfortable temps, and getting about ~41Mh/s.
Since booting over to HiveOS, I’ve been completely unable to get any attempt at an overclock to stick. I’m receiving a bunch of “Nvidia settings updated with errors” errors anytime I try to adjust the overclocks.

When running an nvtool -clocks command, I’m showing that no matter what clock I input, I’m still running at the base clocks (750,6000).
I’ve tried rebooting, reinstalling from scratch, multiple different overclocks including removing the overclock, multiple different Nvidia drivers (including most up-to-date and several past versions that I’ve confirmed stable in the past), multiple past versions of HiveOS, I’ve tried using Absolute Core Clocks as well as Core Clock offsets, reinstalling nvidia-settings, I’ve tried using different miners, all with no success.
The only other thing I can think to do is completely disable the Intel iGPU, but unfortunately there’s no option for me to do so in my laptop’s BIOS…really hoping that’s not the only solution, as I’d really hate to have to stick this thing back on Windows just to get a basic overclock to work.
Any ideas?
