Throttling is, as far as I know, when the processor reduces its frequency when its temperature gets too high.
Here is a program which watches for throttling:

(top one - throttlewatch).

If you mean a temperature controlled fan in the BIOS, then no, it has nothing to do with that. I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by CE1.
The throttling is an automatic safety protection built into the processor to stop it overheating and causing damage to itself. It is only supposed to be activated if the chip really is too hot.
There are sometimes options in certain BIOS's where you can disable this protection, although if ThrottleWatch is detecting throttling I would seriously consider upping the cooling in your system.

If it is throttling you will want one of those, picture shows the standard one but they supply the pro.
I find it stange so many people have problems with them overheating, I have a dual core on stock cooling in a super lanboy with a 1040mhz OC and it doesnt throttle at all.
