Maximum Processor State settings keep resetting!

My CPU keeps overheating so I decided to change the Maximum Processor State to 70%. However, when I run certain programs, (usually videogames) the Maximum Processor State will go back to 100% automatically. How can I prevent this from happening? 

I could just go and fiddle with the BIOS setting, but I rather not unless I have to. 

Cheers

    Might want to look into the original problem about the overheating rather than lowering the cpu state and also gaming with the cpu state lowered :/

    Seems your priorities are off just a tad :)
