Extra tip: if keeping your CPU at its minimum frequency slows down your system too much, you can use the base frequency instead:
( cd /sys/devices/system/cpu && for cpu in *[0-9]/ ; do cat <$cpu/cpufreq/base_frequency >$cpu/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq ; done )
This will generate more heat than staying at the minimum frequency, but less heat than letting the cores go higher.
Tip: you can reduce the heat your laptop/desktop computer generates by limiting its CPU frequency.
To restrict all cores to 800MHz on Linux, run one of these two commands as root:
cpupower frequency-set -u 800MHz
echo 800000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
