From my recent overclocking experience I knew that OC = heat, thus I quickly found my first suspect - Intel Turbo Boost. The maximum temperature (according to Intel website) is 100 C for my CPU and I was getting 90-97 C. The CPU was idling at ~50 C, while when I was playing a relatively “heavy” game (like Team Fortress2 or Black Ops) it was getting hot, too hot actually. I sometimes like to play games on my laptop and I often monitor the temperatures. Intel Turbo Boost is very useful in certain situations, especially if you’re doing “heavy” computational work, so you might ask why bother disabling it? Well, I recently found one reason. So basically if your CPU was designed for 2 GHz Clock speed, Turbo Boost can dynamically overclock it to 2.9 GHz based on the workload (these speeds are here just as an example). Intel Turbo Boost is a relatively new technology, which increases the speed of the Intel CPU on demand, but does it by overclocking it.
