@Nikolaus: Your suggestion worked! Well, it isn't perfect but being able to run a full ClamAV scan with the motherboard temperature never going beyong 70C was a big thing for me. Thanks! But is it possible to apply the same method to throttle up the CPU fan? That would indeed be the best workaround I could get.

P.S.: It seems that klaptop should be able to switch scaling governors. Unfortunately I don't know why but it doesn't. It displays the correct scaling governor when it is tweaked by hand though.
