Hello, yes most motherboard bios will let you do that, also you may be
able to play with frequency boost and other advanced features that
greatly impact cpu temperature. Utilities like cpupower (cpupower-gui)
can allow you to set a maximum frequency without rebooting, but
trial-and-error is needed to find the right balance, and not all cpu
models have this kind of knobs available.
Also modern cpu do not suffer from high temperatures as much as the cpu
of yore, they use up all the thermal headroom they have, then throttle
the frequency/power to stay at that level. Of course the rest of the
system has to deal with the residual heat as well if it is not removed
from the chassis.
