Adding thermal protection to a processor?

[CTho9305]

What is actually involved? wingz said it is nontrivial, but he also said doesn't design the things so doesn't know in detail . what i'm asking is what/how much has to be changed?

also, how much power do processors usually use while in reset?

edit: me have well grammar

What do you mean by thermal protection? DO you mean clock throttling, or just a hard power down?
