Actually it is possible.
Your CPU has auto-throttle support. Read: When the CPU passes a certain
temperature threshold, it automatically clocks down (or inserts NOPs)
in-order to prevent is from burning out. Never the less, if your
machine's cooling is sufficient you shouldn't see this message.

If you CPU's high and low water mark are the same (E.g. 90C), the CPU
will reach 90C, throttle, and drop to 89C - all in one second.
I'd suggest you configure lm_sensros and monitor the CPU and board
temperature.
$ sensors-detect
$ /etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart
$ sensors -s
$ sensors

- Gilboa
P.S. can you post your hardware configuration?
