1) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU getting too hot (Message 91074) Posted 31 Aug 2019 by Redneck567 Post: The simplest way if you are not using the computer for other high CPU tasks is to reduce the CPU speed until the temp gets below your target. Use the power options/advanced and set the MAX CPU speed less than 100% and the Min cpu speed at 50%. On a stock PC this can be 75-95% on the MAX speed.
