Using thermald for cpu to stop overheating

Sometimes, my laptop with Intel Core i3 is overheating. For example today. $ sensors radeon-pci-0300 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +59.0°C (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +58.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +57.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +55.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) BAT0-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface in0: 15.30 V How to use thermald to fix it? The file /etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml is missing. Should I create one? How would it look like?
