I have a Thinkpad T43 (and T40) and it usually stays between 40-50C while doing those types of things. When its building world, I get around 70C and usually no higher. I do notice, however, that FreeBSD seemed to never use the fan to its potential on any of the Thinkpads I've used (T40 for 3 years, T43 for 3 years). Comparably, Windows XP would rev the fan far higher than even setting 'dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level=7' when under load. The fan can certainly work faster (even when booting FreeBSD, its audibly faster)...but 7 is the highest level acpi_ibm allows one to set. Here's my dev.acpi_ibm on a T43 dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed: 4677 dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level: 7 dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan: 0 dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal: 44 42 33 47 33 -1 24 -1 Using dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=1 yields similar results, but the fan runs quieter.
