Simple Calculation:

What we know so far:

P ~ F
P ~ V^2

.'. P=kFV^2 ; k - Constant of proportionality

=> k=P/FV^2 = 57.8/(2400x(1.5)^2) = 0.010703703

Substituting k

P=0.010703703 x F x V^2

In your case:

P=0.010703703 x 3000 x 1.7^2 = 92.8W

You can substitute F and V (Frequency and Voltage respectively) to your liking

@Balinju: Don't make the mistake of oversimplyfying CPUs. They have circuitry to change power dissipation. Neither the 57.8W is an accurate number given out by Intel. Heat is negligable (Even tens of degrees) in comparision to CPU load and other factors. One CPU may vary with another.
