[QUOTE="mobproctor, post: 1064595, member: 153752"] Um yeah, I guess that can happen. Especially in a compact unibody enclosure with slow cooling fans and heat can't escape. When the i7 engages in Turbo Boost mode, the processor will continuously monitor temperature and power consumption and only if the temperature is below Intel's pre-set limits will the i7 dynamically overclock one or more cores to increase performance. In the scenario that both cores of the i7 are running at 3.06GHz and the temperature exceeds the pre-set limits (most likely far less than 100C), then conversely, the processor will reduce the clock speed.
