dolphin not compatible with turbo boost

i believe im not the only person whos having this issue, but does anyone out there got a solution to this?
im running dolphin with this cpu: i7 2720QM, not very decent processor now i admit but it was pretty good back then and can handle some high end games with medium setting easily.
However what ive noticed is that the turbo boost does not performe up to its standard when it comes to dolphin, im currently palying fire emblem: goddess of dawn, the turbo boost monitor indicates the cpu speed goes up to 3.10GHz for the first 5 minutes or so, after that it drops down to energy saver level, and the emulation speed is intolerably low, ive tried to set the affinity and priority in the task manager but none of them helped, i wonder if my only way out is to purchase a new machine? not just for this case but turbo boost can be really annoying sometimes, and i cant oc my cpu since its a laptop.

First of all: The i7-2720QM is a really fast moible CPU Wink Decent for laptop though.

My hints:
* check, if your laptops is plugged in and has current
* check, if you have the "high performance profile" selected
* check with CoreTemp, if your CPU is overheating.

Turbo Boost automatically stopped because you were overheating

thanks for the fast reply, but my laptop was plugged in as always and if it was not the start button will turn yellow and i will notice that.
by high perfomance profile if you mean the power plan, yes i did choose the high performance one.
about the temperature, well this does not happen occasionally, it happens every single time, which means even if i just boot up the computer and run dolphin, it still gets meSad
another thing ive noticed so far is the turbo boost monitor indicates the cpu speed goes up and down sometimes, it wont stay still at the overclocked speed anyway, which really annoy the hell outta me.
im still trying to figure out a way to keep turbo boost working stable while running dolphin, but if i cant, im considering getting a desktop with i5 3570k.

Test your PC with dolphin at least 10 min . For example :

You may need to enable "Lock threads to core" via Dolphin
