First -- the disclaimer -- mine is X60 (not X60s), but with 1.83GHz
32-bit CPU, so it should be somewhat similar to yours. At the moment it
has USB drivers loaded, which tends to bump CPU utilization and
temperature. It has UltraBase attached and is sitting on top of the
aluminum passive cooler pad.

It was bought originally with the Atheros card and 100GB drive and 1GB
of memory was added later to the total of 2GB.

System is -CURRENT as of January 5th 18:00 EST. This laptop was tracking
-CURRENT pretty close since I have acquired it 15 month ago. It does
buildwords with -j5 at least weekly.

At the moment, I am writing this E-mail and playing some music, using
Amarok. It is on the wired network ATM, but I do not recall any thermal
problems while using wireless connection.

I does look shade cooler then yours, and fan is running at the lower
speed.

I will try to list things that I do/have done, and you can compare them
to your setup:
-- BIOS is updated to the latest level (I do keep XP partition for this
specific purpose).
-- I run powerd:
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a adaptive -b adaptive -i 75 -r 65"
-- I set hw.pci.do_power_nodriver="3" in /boot/loader.conf
-- I run GNOME (please, no religious wars here)
-- I set low CPU state to C2 in rc.conf
performance_cx_lowest="C2"    # Online CPU idle state
economy_cx_lowest="C2"       # Offline CPU idle state

I could not think of anything else related to the temperature, ATM.
