I suspect that ASL re-evaluates _CRT and tells FreeBSD to re-read it
based on some event. I would have expected 'user_override' to block the
update. I might be completely off the mark, though.

In the time being you should be able to dump our ASL (see Handbook for
instructions), look for something like
Scope (\_TZ)
{
...
ThermalZone (THM1)
{
...
Method (_CRT, 0, NotSerialized)
{
<possible some other statements>
Return (<something or other>)
}
where THM1 is just a name, so it could be different in your case. You
need to find one for the zone #1 inside the Scope(\TZ) definition. I
think FreeBSD numbers them sequentially, regardless of the name, so this
would be the second ThermalZone definition in the scope. If you want
105C, put
Return(0xEC6);
in there. The value 0xEC6 = 105 * 0xA + 0xAAC.
If _CRT method is not there, you should be safe to add one, consisting
of the single return statement.
You would have to recompile ASL and set it to override on boot (see
Handbook).
As the side note, thermal chapter of the ACPI spec is both short and
readable, so if you'd rather understand where did all of this come from,
I would recommend reading through it.
