Also when producing 30GFLops, temps were lower by 20c compared to 50GFLOps and the CPU usage was 100% either with the 30 or 50 GFLops.
happens on Windows 7 x64 and Windows Vista x64
I had the same problem. It was simply the CPU TM function in the bios that I had to disable.
It's not the usual throttling/energy settings but the one which only works if the processor is at frequency >=3.6GHz and bus >=800MHz in the bios comments.
That was the first time that TM function was really triggered on a system for me (i7 920): LinX is the devil
