Having Trouble Overclocking GTX 1070 GPUS

Hi there folks.

I am running Ubuntu Linux with 6 GTX 1070s and am having some problems overclocking my GPUs. See below output:

[code]owocki@owocki-desktop:~ nvidia-smi -i {i} -pl 170
Failed to set power management limit for GPU 0000:01:00.0: Insufficient Permissions
Terminating early due to previous errors.
owocki@owocki-desktop:~ owocki@owocki-desktop:~ sudo !!
sudo nvidia-smi -i ${i} -pl 170
Power limit for GPU 0000:01:00.0 was set to 170.00 W from 170.00 W.

Warning: persistence mode is disabled on this device. This settings will go back to default as soon as driver unloads (e.g. last application like nvidia-smi or cuda application terminates). Run with [–help | -h] switch to get more information on how to enable persistence mode.

All done.

Here are the specs of my rig:

Can anyone tell me what I might do to get my GPUGraphicsClockOffset and GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset to update?

Thanks,
@owocki
