... In fact I think OSs such as Windows, should have algorithms running in the background, which note the rates of increases in heat in PCs (this applies especially for laptops), and preemptively throttle the processes that are causing the heat increases - if they calculate the heat increases will soon cause the PCs to exceed their heat tolerance thresholds. The OSs could also provide notifications to users, giving them the option of manually shutting down these CPU hungry processes.
