You're missing the point really. With a competent desktop cpu/mobo it's easy to peg the CPU clock at a certain frequency.

And with modern CPUs the power density is sufficently high that the die and heatspreader thermal resistance is enough to cause substantial temperature changes even with completely overspecced cooling.

No, you can up/down the base/turbo limits, but the effect will be miniscule.
