Is this one ever changed?

This one means that coling will never be used, why:
my output looks like this:
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 85.0C 75.0C 60.0C 50.0C -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC1: 5

hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TSP: 600

You can play with all thermal values once you enable:
hw.acpi.thermal.user_override

But acpi may redo such values again after some time.
You only real workaround is to use modified acpi ASL:
it is explained in handbook.

In my case I fixed in that way bogus kernel
message "_CRT value is absurd, ignored".


hw.acpi never displayed thermal values for some reason. However, after loading acpi_ibm, I can query those values without a problem
dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal: 49 41 33 48 27 -1 22 -1

I'm not sure the critical temperature (99C) is a problem, but what I have observed is you should never be near it. None of these thinkpads got over 80C under load with FreeBSD installed until recently. ACPI's ASL does not appear to be the problem as it has worked correctly in the past.
