That thread forked and re-forked a few times under the different subjects... Did you try setting hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._PSV=75C in /etc/sysctl.conf? If not, we can start by comparing machines and configurations. Mine is X60 (1709-something) with 1.83GHz "Core Not-2 Duo" which is 32-bit machine and I am running i386 version of -STABLE on it. I seem to recall that there are 64-bit capable X60 models out there as well and someone was running amd64 flavor on it. What's yours? Are you using powerd? I do: powerd_enable="YES" powerd_flags="-a adaptive -b adaptive -i 75 -r 65" What is the output of sysctl hw.acpi.thermal under light/idle load? Mine is: hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 hw.acpi.thermal.user_override: 1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 40.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 127.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC1: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC2: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TSP: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 40.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.active: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.passive_cooling: 1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._PSV: 75.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._CRT: 97.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._ACx: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._TC1: 5 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._TC2: 4 hw.acpi.thermal.tz1._TSP: 600 Are you loading acpi_ibm?

I guess, I should mention that I have a habit of emptying about a half of the can of compressed air into the grille on the left of the machine every few months or so. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko (Олександр Коваленко)
