The X2 CPUs do not run hot like for example the Intel dual cores or even the Intel single cores for that matter. This is a very specific problem with his particular machine and is an issue for the vendor to resolve. For the vendor to have supplied it without a BIOS that recognises the dual cores is shameful, to supply a machine that overheats in 10 mins is also shameful.
