Macbook Air overheating results in 1.2 GHz CPU

It appears that it is true that all first gen MBAs are locked at 0.8GHZ. I am really disappointed. Everything was fine in this machine up till today when I played two HD video game reviews one after the other and all the sudden the MBA was about to die
FWIW mine (SSD Gen 1) can go past 0.8GHz...it idles at 0.8 but can go up to 1.2GHz and stays there consistently...but it also reaches 1.8GHz for 2/3 seconds before dropping down to 1.2 again...sometimes it also touches 1.40GHz. So basically it fluctuates between 1.8/1.4/1.2GHz when doing something intensive.
I am not using Coolbook either
Aaah, please correct this!!!
Should be "I feel I bought the PRETTIEST piece of crap Apple has ever made" ^_^ . Not just polished; frozen, gold plated, diamond encrusted turd.
Sure. But it'll lead to an overheat. And if your CPU explodes, it won't be covered because you used unofficial software =(
So wipe your HDD before you show 'em ^_^
Very cool. Without my battery in my Macbook Pro, I'm throttled all the way down to .80 instead of 2.2ghz. Great thing is, when playing the Frozen Throne, my CPU doesn't go above 110 F.
