It should be hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1.
However, perhaps, it still doesn't work for you. Your BIOS's thermal
zone might not specify _TC1, _TC2 and _TSP correctly. They are
required for passive cooling. Since, they are not visible through
sysctl, you cannot change the values.
If it is your case, please try the attached patch. It adds
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC1, hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC2 and
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TSP.
Choosing the values is an issue. For your reference, my laptop
(Panasonic Let'snote CF-R4) has _TC1=0, _TC2=12, _TSP=40.
Sincerely,
