Intel Core i7-4700HQ is an integrated (soldered onto the motherboard) high-end processor released in June of 2013. It is part of the “Haswell” generation and operates at a base frequency of 2.4GHz. If a higher frequency is needed, its four cores can automatically overclock, and if they all operate in tandem, they can reach 3.2GHz. The frequency can go up to 3.3GHz for two cores or 3.4GHz for only one core.
The chip is equipped with 256KB of first level cache, 1MB of second level cache, and 6MB of third level cache. The Core i7-4700HQ has been developed using a 22nm process, allowing for the integration of the Intel HD Graphics 4600 controller. It operates at a base frequency of 400MHz, while Turbo Boost can increase that to 1150MHz. Power consumption of the whole SoC (System on a Chip) amounts to 47 watts with a maximum operating temperature of 100C.
Intel Core i7- 4700HQ supports TurboBoost (increasing the clock frequency when necessary), HyperThreading (additional virtual core for every physical one), PCI Express 3.0, up to 32GB of DDR3L 1333/1600 memory, AVX2.0 and the SSE4 instruction set.

I have overheating issues with i7-4700HQ in my laptop. Regularly reaches 100C under load. I’m getting it repasted, but I was wondering if there is any other way to reduce the heat to a normal level so it can work 24/7 without concern of it failing or reducing its life span. Thanks
Ive got an i7 4700HQ as well on my Asus X750JB.
It was overheating with dangerous temperature that the CPU melted, now it was swapped and its being tested, somehow after boot it wont go lower than 70C°
