Make sure you have the latest BIOS, and that not only the fan but heatsink is dust free. Your not supposed to have a throttling problem, not with the Nvidia solution.The laptop cooling system is so good that I am able to overclock my Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M at crazy speed without any additional cooling (see signature link to see how much I went far).

I suggest to get a heatsink replaced and motherboard replaced. I suggest the motherboard as I assume a heat bubbled formed in the thermal pads, and may have damaged a segment of the processors or sensor.
