Keep in mind that the "manual mode exit" is designed to protect your system when it gets hot, so don't change it to a dangerous level. Also, if this is happening when idle you have a problem that needs to be fixed, most likely poor therm contact.

nope only happens when i play world at tanks....
idle cpu is 40*C (on max clock) and 35*C on Powersaver.
GPU Idle on low clock is 54*C and overclocked (700 core, 990Mem and 1600Shader) at 58*C and maxes out at 79*C after 1 hour furrmark.

Sounds to me like your game is heating up your GPU and tpfc is designed to "get out of the way" when dangerous temps are detected. This prevents it from being used in a way that will damage your laptop.
