I really understand. But no amount of understanding will make it a good idea to
file bugs about it. [Also note that most CPU/GPU chips have overheat
protection.]

I would recommend sitting tight and waiting for this functionality to be
released. The Nouveau project's devs are well aware of the lack of power
management support. You can also come to #nouveau and see if some devs are
willing to share their reclocking scripts with you, although it's more than
likely that the answer will be "no" or that they won't work at all for you.
