I repasted this laptop with Arctic Silver 5 and the problem went away. It never clocks down now no matter how long I run system stability test for.
Thanks for your help Fiery.

When I do a System Stability Test on this Thinkpad W541 with i7-4710MQ, it runs for a couple minutes with throttling between 0% and 20% averaging about 10%, and then all the clocks drop down to 798Mhz for a minute - then they go full speed again for a couple minutes before dropping once more.
Sometimes when I'm playing a game it will suddenly turn into a slideshow, so I guess this is what's happening.
I presume this is some kind of overheat protection beyond simple throttling.
Is this to be expected with this system?

Interesting.
Maybe I will try liquid metal on this guy then to see if I can reduce the throttling.
Does "Overheating Detected" simply mean that AIDA detected any amount of throttling? Or does it mean AIDA detected high core temperatures?

It's a Lenovo Thinkpad W541
i7-4710MQ

"Overheating Detected!" at all times (Lenovo Thinkpad W541 + i7-4710MQ)
in Hardware monitoring

I mentioned this in another thread as well, but I repasted this laptop with Arctic Silver 5 and now it works perfectly. I never see Overheating Detected and it never throttles no matter how long I run stability test now.
I never would have believed how effective a repaste can be. It's like a totally different laptop!
Thanks again Fiery.
