Now also, just thinking theoretically with the knowledge I have,
you could underclock(as opposed to overclocking, which is what gamers
do), but have never seen that option in BIOS.

And maybe there is an option in your OS, google search term 'limiting
processes activity cpu usage':

https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=limiting+processes+activity+cpu+usage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

This seemed good for what you want from a brief overview:
