Tzafir, I got some laptops here for doing installation s, which were too hot all the time with permanently running fan. (Yes, under Windows.) I think that's happening when they throw a highspeed CPU (and maybe not even mobile ones) into a machine that originally wasn't designed for the hottie.
I was able to improve a little by removing a small groundplate near to the mainboard (usually providing access to the RAM chips or the CMOS clock battery). When run on main power, removing the main battery can also help. Of course, that's for desktop usage, no solution if you are travelling...

(Cooking your eggs isn't that funny though ;) But the preferred way to go would be cooling, if possible. ps. Have you checked the BIOS settings ?
