hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 128,0C on Thinkpad T410

[laufdi]

It stays at 128 °C and doesn't change anymore. Before I adjusted hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT it rebooted on building ports because of that heat. So it must be some value where it jumps to 128 °C and never comes back.

Change those sysctl variables in your /etc/sysctl.conf:

hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT=110C
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV=90C

Reboot your system and show the output of % sysctl hw.acpi.thermal. After reducing _PSV value try build some complex port to check if works.

P.S. Also doing some internal cleaning and applying new thermal paste could be fine. IBM supplies good manuals and the Thinkpad T410 can be disassembled easily.

I already have

hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1

In the meantime the laptop switched off suddenly. Now I have

hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 55,0C

again.

At compiling it gets quite hot, > 90 °C, so maybe it's a problem with cooling (paste).
