Overheating attributed to Freebsd --sysctl variables notavailable--

I'm interested in those missing sysctl variables I posted @
http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/installation/sysctl_variables_missing.  Using a Third party
application/script to fix something that was natively working or under control, I don't
think, is the way to go and causes another level of complexity.

Wouldn't you think?
