Sounds perhaps similar to some recent issues, but first we need to know 
more about your laptop .. please show output of:

% sysctl hw.acpi
% sysctl dev.cpu
% grep -i acpi /var/run/dmesg.boot

mbmon only works with some hardware, and then needs tweaking sometimes; 
worry about that if it doesn't look like an acpi and/or cpufreq issue.

Temperature at least should be shown by sysctl dev.cpu.N.temperature.

You're doing fine.
