Comment 26 for bug 456637

@#25 Maximum performance is not an overclocked setting. I would expect overheating when overclocking. Not to say that Nvidia cards don't do that under normal speed, because the ones that don't do powermizer have for me in the past. However that only happens if you have insufficient cooling. Older cards basically require a slot fan because generally there is not enough airflow over them otherwise. I learned that the hard way long ago. I have a newer card now and it comes with a builtin slot fan, probably for this reason. Essentially what I am getting at is if you are having that kind of issue when under maximum performance, not overclocking the card, the problem is in your case setup/cooling solution, not in the powermizer setting, in which case you need to address that anyway.
I would prefer that powrmizer remember the setting you put in, then people in your situation could have it set to something else. I would notify Nvidia upstream but I never was able to discover a way to do so. Very frustrating.
