    $\begingroup$ Well I mean, I live in a very poor country and can't afford anything better than this. $\endgroup$ Commented May 6, 2021 at 20:42

    $\begingroup$ The best thing I could buy right now is a 10-50$ laptop (If something like that even exists). $\endgroup$ Commented May 6, 2021 at 20:44

    $\begingroup$ None of the answers really solves the root of the problem. Ideally you should (carefully) try blowing out as much dust from the laptop if you can since it shouldn't really be overheating in the first place. You could also try a laptop cooling pad which would be relatively cheap. At any rate, just limiting the number of threads, particularly on a single/dual core laptop may not be a great help. On both Windows and Linux it is possible to set a CPU governor/power profile to restrict the CPU from running at full power at the cost of speed which would solve the problem in other applications too $\endgroup$ Commented May 7, 2021 at 15:58

    $\begingroup$ Just to check. Is your laptop full of dust? A cheap laptop is expected to be slow, but not to overheat. If it's old simply cleaning the dust out of the fans may help reduce overheating $\endgroup$ Commented May 7, 2021 at 21:33
