Ah, I see what you're proposing. It's a cool idea, but I think it would be
difficult because different systems/CPU's have different thermal limits. Also,
it's sort of a band-aid solution. A system should really be able to run at 100%
load indefinitely without overheating (overclocking notwithstanding). If it
can't, then the cooling is simply insufficient.
I think the best thing in this situation is to figure out what is causing the
overheating. I didn't know systems would automatically shut down because of HD
temps, but I could very well be wrong. So if you suspect overheating of the
hard disk, it would probably be wise to look at powertop and see what is
causing the HD wake-ups/activity. htop is a useful tool as well.
