I'm on a Dell Inspiron 8600C (which is the cheaper consumer-grade
version of your laptop) and it runs nice and cool for me. You are
probably missing the power management daemon (powerd). For more
information, see man powerd and to see whether it helps, add the
following to your /etc/rc.conf:
powerd_enable="YES"
