linux - Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled

I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10 on an i7 with 8gigs of ram. I thought of putting this on askubuntu.com but decided that maybe the question has a much broader appeal.

I have the following error message popping up when I run math simulations.

CPUn: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = xxxxxxx)

CPUn: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = xxxxxxx)

I realize that this is a hardware warning message (machine check exception, correct me if I am wrong). How do I turn these messages off? Since it doesn't seem to have a detrimental effect of my calculations or my computer (presumably), I don't like it cluttering up my virtual console screen with hundreds of these messages.
