If you are getting CPU overheating, esp. with this Athlon II X2, which , you will need to look at defective case fans, CPU fan or reseat the CPU heat sink with fresh CPU paste. The ones I had here I used to pushed push hard with seti@home, climatepredictions@home, einstain@home etc BOINC projects, and yes games, and never had any significant heat issues. AMD CPUs run much cooler than the typical Intel CPUs of the same era. Athlon II X2 255 have a TPD of only 65W. the cpufrew module just overrides the built in automatic CPU speed settings and is only useful to safe power (lower electric bill). You should be able to run that CPU all day at full blast without overheating. Check your cooling fans and CPU heat sink. -Ed
