      Is there any way to make the rigs reboot every night?

      Some script or something?

      Been doing some reading on forums but basically i suck at linux :)

        You should make a cronjob.

        type:
        sudo crontab -e
        and add:
        @daily root /sbin/shutdown -r now

        this will reboot your server daily @ 00:00

              Sometimes my cgminer sessions freeze and if i´m at work o sleeping its nice know to that they will do fresh reboot and keep on working… easier than to fix the main problem 8)

                Btw, the reason to that problem might be that your VRM’s are overheating.
                Had the same issue with GPU temp seeming fine, but cgminer keept on randomly freeze. after getting better air circulation through the cards i havent had a cgminer freeze yet.

                  For me it seems to be the other way, I have a window open to the room and when the temperature
                  drops in the evening/night i freezes

                      Nope, don´t understand whats wrong, tried both

                      @daily root /sbin/reboot -f
                      &
                      @daily root /sbin/shutdown -r now

                      been using “sudo crontab -e” with nano

                      does the spacing matter?

                        That might be the reason.
                        During night the air is cooler, meaning the gpu core gets cooler with cooler air, the fans goes down in speed.
                        BUUUUUT your VRM´s are still smoking hot from the power usage.

                        Maybe try to run cgminer with locked fan speed of 85%?
