MSI Afterburner Goes Mobile
MSI's popular and intuitive VGA overclocking software Afterburner has gone mobile, don't worry, it's not going to let you overclock or fry anything up inside your smartphone, but let you overclock graphics cards in your bench setup wirelessly. Designed for popular smartphone platforms such as Android, the Afterburner mobile application connects to the system using direct IP access via wireless. We assume that the desktop Afterburner process needs to be running in the background. The application takes advantage of touchscreens on smartphones, giving you slider-based control. Apart from controlling clock speeds, voltages, and fan speeds, the application also lets you monitor everything the desktop end of Afterburner is able to monitor.

And the dude who said your system still rages on in the backround is muddying up the waters a bit here as most times a freeze is a freeze in my experience, and who the hell would care if my GPU temps went up went it froze (sounds ill logical that would happen though).
Anyway, as noted this is not for everyone, but has great value for some. ;)

Cliff's notes - adjustments on the fly.
Additonal note - monitor temps...
You cant do it via mouse or keyboard in the middle of a bench (except for HOTKEYS I suppose). So one would be able to see the interface to make sure the clocks accept and retreat back depending on the section in the benchmark. You also cant monitor temps in the middle of a bench as well.
