@#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.
