Is there a way to re-allow downclocking with multiple monitors? Nvidia, in their very finite wisdom shut the ability off.
My machine is a dual boot, and with Nvidia Inspector in Windows I was successfully able to do it with no ill effects, although having to manually add which applications should run with half or full power was a pain.
In OpenSuse 13.1 performance levels 0 and 1 are greyed out, even with adaptive PowerMizer enabled. I have no need for performance level 2 while running Linux, and the wear on the fans and the wasted power and higher temperatures is ridiculous.

create an xorg.conf (no, it won’t mess anything up, unless it is invalid of course), maybe with nvidia-settings, and add that option there
use a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ for setting that option. I suppose something like this in 50-device.conf (or create a new file and name it like you want, 50-nvidia-device.conf f.e.) should do:
If you have problems getting into graphical mode because of your changes, just boot to “Recovery Mode” (“Advanced Options” in the boot menu) and revert your changes.
