[SOLVED] i5 7300hq full capacity in-game. How to reach it?

Hi everyone.
I try to make the introduction to the stiuation as short as possible.
About a year ago I purchased an acer aspire v nitro laptop geared with an i5 7300hq and a gtx1060.
First i couldn't use the full capacity (turbo boost) on the cpu, since in just a single minute its temps jumped up to 90 degrees and beyond. However now I could find remedy to it. I got an nt-h1 thermal paste and changed the thermal paste. In a miraculous way, now with a cool room temp between 20 - 25 degrees, fans at max speed, cpu on turbo mode, its temps can stay between only 70 - 77 (in an airconed environment).

However I noticed, for instance during heavy gaming, the cpu clock doesnt go beyond 3092 Mghz. However it is capable of a 3492 Mghz. Is it possible to have it utilize at that rate during games?

Thanks for the answeres in advance. Happy new year!

Sometimes VRMs will overheat on the motherboard so the CPU won’t stay at the max frequency.

That's a core cap. The rated turbo speed only applies when using single thread stuff. One you go beyond single thread usage, the max speed is suppressed and lowered. This is a bios setting that's usually locked to prevent 4c/4t usage at full turbo, which would overheat the cpu quickly at that voltage.
