My toshiba satellite a665 (i7 740QM, 640GB, GTS 350M) that contains an i7 740QM (1.7ghz base, 2.9ghz turbo) started clocking at 3192 mhz on one core, which is above its turbo speed, thus being quite interesting. (anyone knows why this is so?) Also, i read that it is possible to limit cpu performance without underclocking, setfsb or anything like that by simply changing a setting in windows. i want to do it beacuse as seen below, i am achieving temperatures of 100 deg C while simply simultaneously doing a conference call and watching a youtube video. my laptop would also overheat while playing half life 2 ._. so if anyone knows how to do that. also does anyone know how to change the fan speed of my cooler fan? (SpeedFan and HWInfo64 does not work) thanks!

I've had that happen to me (4790k @4.4). It's either a HWM reading the speed incorrectly, or for a brief milisecond it goes above turbo for whatever reason (for me thats 4.56ghz).
