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.
I guess the two should be rather similar. May I ask what you mean with
"aluminum passive cooler pad"? Is that located underneath your UltraBase? If
yes, does it help? Mine does not get that hot there.
Chunk of aluminum with two dead fans inside -- used to be "active cooler
pad" when fans were alive ;) I use second HD in the UltraBase every now
and again and it gets warm.
I does look shade cooler then yours, and fan is running at the lower
speed.
An that is what makes me wonder...
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).
That is not the case with mine because of the lack of a XP partition. Do you
have any idea whether these FreeDOS BIOS-flash mechanisms are working?
On my 42p (work machine), I normally use USB floppy with FreeDOS to
flash the BIOS -- IBM^H^H^HLenovo usually distributes two BIOS updates
-- you want one marked as the "floppy version". I think if you look
through the mail archives, you should be able to find suggestion on
making bootable CD, if USB floppy is out of reach.

-- 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
Done.
Ahem... if "LOW" there does not render your machine unusable, it is even
better.
Concerning the later cpufreq discussion: done that too. So far so good. The
cpufreq module gives
module_register: module pci/ichss_pci already exists!

I guess, here might be another difference -- I load acpi as the module.
If you think it will help, I can mail you my kernel config outside of
the list.

Yikes! Can you, please, post results of 'sysctl dev.cpu.0'
and this some ten/fifteen minutes before overheat. I find it remarkable that
it apparently suddenly goes some almost 40 (!) degrees up.
So what is left now is a BIOS update, or? Does
http://taint.org/2007/04/23/153737a.html sound doable for anyone?
Any other ideas?
Well, let's cvsup on the close dates (I do it on the regular basis
anyway), take my kernel config, build identical kernels, ditch the X
completely, remove systems from docks and away from cooling pads, run
something CPU-intensive and compare notes. We can do it off-list and
post summary in the case of success.
For starters, why don't you send me your output of pciconf -lv
and /var/run/dmesg.boot along with /boot/loader.conf
and /etc/sysctl.conf. You can add you kernel config for the good
measure.
Thanks,
Johannes
