Description
It is possible to override the power limit on Linux with nvidia-smi, but it would be better to have a GUI option for it.
Can you add a power limit slider to the Powermizer menu if coolbits value is set to 8 (when OC is available)?

Research direction
Start by locating the Powermizer menu and the code that reads the coolbits value; compare its available controls with the power-limit capability exposed by nvidia-smi on Linux. Done means a GUI power-limit slider appears when coolbits is set to 8 and overclocking is available, while remaining absent otherwise.
