I often forget to apply back the default settings (stop overclocking) my gpu after I am done gaming. I was wondering if there is any way to make msi afterburner automatically apply these default settings after a set amount of time?
On a related note: Does overclocking shorten my card's lifetime? If so, would it be significant enough if I plan on upgrading in no more than 2 years?
Also, would ending the process apply the default settings (stop overclocking)? Maybe I can find a way to automatically end the process.
I am not sure if my settings are relevant, but in case they are, here:
MSI Afterburner (GeForce GTX 970):
----------------------------------
Core Voltage: +87 mV
Power Limit: 110%
Core Clock: +185 MHz
Memory Clock: +500 MHz
Fan Speed: 70%

You won't have to restart to the default options after playing games. The GPU will automatically reduce its clock speeds and voltages to conserve energy when not in heavy use. Your overclocking won't greatly affect the longevity of your card.
