Today, I stress-tested my laptop (Asus K-55VM) with Prime 95, for a few minutes. WIthout the turbo boost, the temps were at 66C. With the turbo boost turned on, the core temperature shot up to 90C within a minute, still no sign of throttling. (These temps are recorded while the laptop is on a cooler stand.)
The processor is an Intel Core i7 3610QM. The TjMax is around 95C, I think. Even at 90C, there is no sign of automatically turbo boost turning off. Is the turbo boost feature caused to self-destruct the processor? 90C constant is a serious temperature, for the processor, and for the mainboard!

[I remember, my old HP Pavilion DV6845TX self-destructed the mainboard after a 30 min video rendering session at 85C. So that's why I always turn Turbo Boost off in this laptop during video rendering, else the temps shoot up to more than 80C constant.]
What is the use of Turbo boost, if it can't control itself properly? Can you please help? Thank you.
