I agree that Linux isn't handling a thermally challenged situation as well as Windows
in some of these reports.

eg. if you can tape up your fan and Windows can handle it through passive cooling
and throttling your system down, Linux should be able to handle that as well.

It might merit a big fat warning, but running slow is better than heating up
until a critical thermal trip takes your system away.
