I have a lenovo Y510p i7 and on my task manager it tells me that the maximum speed is 2.4ghz but i often see the actual speed at over 4.0 ghz. Does anybody know why? Is this bad for my cpu?
Processor running to fast?

This is called the boost speed. The cpu does this when it needs a little extra power in processing things… It is completely safe

No you can't measure it accurately with a software!
If you measure clock speeds from motherboard you will find its well below 4Ghz
its fine unless it overheats.
