First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong area.

So, after watching the final episode of Scrapyard Wars, I thought to myself, "Why don't I see if there's anything this application can show me?" So I downloaded and installed the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Once up and running, I was supprised that, while very limited, it showed that there was some (limited) OC functionality. Before I went messing with anything, I thought I may as well use their built in benchmark to try and see what this puppy could do. When I first ran the benchmark, my laptop was unplugged, and I noticed that on "Current Limit Throttling" it kept going yellow and saying "Yes". Figuring it was because it was unplugged, I let the benchmark finish, and plugged in my laptop, letting the CPU cool down again. Once it had time to settle, I ran the benchmark again with the laptop plugged in. Same thing was popping up. The CPU would boost up to about 3.4-3.5 GHz before dropping to 3.09GHz and saying that it was throttling due to current limit. Is there something faulty, or is this system not able to provide enough current to sustain higher clock speeds?I've verified what I can with HWiFO64, and CPU-Z5b6f7ec89b948_Screenshot(36).thumb.png.62641103c75c7d528ae64f10c75c1a36.png
