Base Freq vs Turbo Max

[euless]

<t>Hi<br/>
MY T440p's spec sheet says Base Freq is 2.6 GHz and Max Turbo is 3.3 GHz.<br/>
<br/>
During Windows-10 Cinebench test, freq is 2.88 GHz. And I notice the occasionally spike to 3.3 GHz when I use Windows-Youtube.

But when I do stress test on Linux, the freq is constantly 3.2 GHz. And when I am compiling code on Linux, the freq also stays at 3.2 GHz.

I wonder if prolong running at 3.2 HHz speed would prematurely wear out the CPU? Like if you are compiling Gentoo.

damage is risked if CPU is not cooling effectively. sustained under 90C should be safe.
