A cracking job exited because it exceeded thermal limits. That's a good feature, but a better one might be to increase the fan speed instead of shutting down.
I manually configured the fan to run 100%, and restarted the job. After 15 minutes, temperature is 59C -- which is actually lower than the 68C it started with.
Of course, this could be a bad feature if running the fan at high-speed for too long could hurt it.
After 43mins, temperature is now 58C with fan at 100%:
