Hi,

I remember this series, I've had a T60p and when I compiled world, I
placed a fan in front of it to cool it down from 100°C. The difference
with T60p was that it simply shut off reaching 101°C.

The problem is the hardware, not FreeBSD. T60p and obviously T60, too,
was made by some crazy people who had the idea to cool the CPU und the
GPU under the same heat sink. The funny thing is that the GPU is
running at 70°C all the time, because FreeBSD does not implement
voltage regulation for the VGA chipset. The result is that the GPU
warms up the CPU to at least 55°C while idle.

If you want to have a cooler CPU implement power saving for the Radeon
chipset there.
