You want to control your thermals by balancing voltage and clock, not by simply throttling down if you get too hot.

The thermal control of the setting does not have value in overclocking. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which includes adding a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV. An unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board. And if your psu is tight (which it never is) then bumping it can strain that too. Prototype of Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B, a heavy UCAV. If you're overclocking you usually want to bump this to the maximum, with the caveat that if you are extreme overclocking you need to make sure it remains lower than the available pci-e power or you risk actual damage. This usually isn't the same as the TDP (though maybe for nvidia cards it is). It's a multiplier of some base wattage value, which you can probabvly find somewhere in the docs for your card.

It's sort of the GPU equivalent of CPU turbo boost. But usually it's used just to keep temps and overall power use down so that the PSU isn't strained and the temps don't go crazy.

This can be a safety feature to prevent them from exceeding the limits of the pci-e power delivery (something like 300W for a 8-pin plus 6-pin connectors). GPUs will automatically throttle based on their power use.
