<p dir="ltr">I am on the business for over 30 years. At the time, we knew that the only way to break hardware by any software was to set bad frequency to the monitor. <br>
Afaik the nice command can't reduce cpu usage. It only allows other processes/threads, would there be any, to get more cpu. Still, if no other process requiers cpu your cpu intensive tasks will get all that is left available resulting in high frequdncies and heat.<br>
I would guess that either the cpu mentioned is faulty or that Intel stopped prodicing durable cpus.</p>

If nice is not enough for your process, ask it to be verynice:<br>

"verynice is a nice(1)-like utility to throttle long running processes<br>
beyond what can be achieved by nice(1), by repeatedly suspending and<br>
resuming the process."<br>
