I only know about my bios but there may even be an option for yours to choose a desired max temp for your cpu. My i5 2500's recommended max temp is 72 but I set my desired max to be 65 or so. It hardly ever gets even that high unless I'm playing something as graphically intense as Metro 2033 or Crysis 2.
Anyways I think it works by literally slowing down your processes (game gets laggy) until the temperature falls a bit. Has only happened with me in Crysis 2 during long distance action scenes (very few).
