Intel Celerons don't support frequency scaling, but frequency throttling.
All you can do is use the "p4-clockmod" driver, but it is of limited use in
your case.

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE
CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD

In your case, I'd use the performance governor and limit
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_max_freq depening on system
temeperature to avoid the fan being enabled/increased. There are userspace
daemons out there which allow for doing so.
