Yes.

The speeds change quite constantly under a kernel compile workload, but
most of the time it's at 2240800 vs cpuinfo_max_freq which is 2801000

echo 2240800 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 2240800 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

made it survive a kernel compile for me, with an observed maximum
temperature of 87 C.

More later..
