I'd say yes. Especially if you mess with ACPI and, say, turn off the fans...

  Modern processors just thermal throttle to the extreme if the heat can’t be dissipated, no?

    They will shut down the whole computer.

    Experience with an incorrectly heatsunk laptop GPU has demonstrated to me that the BIOS will yank power to the system if it hits 100°C. Yeah. Well, in all honesty I'm not sure if it was Linux, the BIOS, or some low-level thermal monitoring circuitry, but yeah, I one minute I was messing around with WebGL and the next minute I got confused about whether I'd forgotten the power cable. (Then I realized I hadn't heard any beeping (this was a ThinkPad and I didn't have the beeper muted) and realized it had overheated.)
