I'm on a Dell Inspiron 8600C (which is the cheaper consumer-grade 
version of your laptop) and it runs nice and cool for me. You are 
probably missing the power management daemon (powerd). For more 
information, see man powerd and to see whether it helps, add the 
following to your /etc/rc.conf:

powerd_enable="YES"
