Hi i have a hp pavilion dv6 with a Intel Core i7-2630QM 2Ghz . I think the cpu is self overclocking because it go high up to 3.5 ghz without any boost or overcloking program ant it gets is 95 celsius heat . I 've changed the termal paste but it didn't work . I've monitorizeted the temp and the freq with OpenHardwareMonitor. The laptop does not seem to be affected by the heat but i am worried. Please help me to stop it heating that much and self-overclocking. Thank you. (And btw escuse my bad english :3 Consider that you are speaking with Yoda :)) )

Edit: Sorry i was wrong it was 2.9 overclocked sorry for my dumpness :)

Then I think you need to look at how it was installed. It should be cooler than that. By changing the power and cooling profile of your machine, you can effectively disable the Turbo Boost, I think.

Just open the power options tab ,open the advanced windows and set minimum and maximum processor state to 99%.The processor needs to be at 100% frequency in order to turbo boost itself so if you set the maximum frequency at 99% it wont turbo boost.

However, that is merely treating the symptom. Is the fan connected and spinning? Are the heat pipes correctly installed and aligned?

That Intel chip has Turbo Boost which allows some cores to speed up when needed. http://ark.intel.com/products/52219/Intel-Core-i7-2630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz

However, the maximum turbo is 2.9Ghz, so I do not know how or why it is getting to 3.5Ghz. That temperature is too high and I would expect that your CPU will shut down or slow down. My old dv7 overheated itself to death 🙁.

How old is the computer and when were the fans and heatpipes cleaned last?
 

last mounth i did clean up the fans and changed the thermic paste
