I am on yesterday's current and tried above explicitly in loader.conf
without much success. 

I just dusted off things but I guess I'll have to reapply the paste.
I'll let you'll know how it goes.

When you reapply the paste, clean the heat sink. Dust is an excellent
thermal insulator!.

Does the system fan have three wires? If there are only two, the fan lacks
tachometer feedback and will always read '0'. I have seen many systems that
have a motherboard supporting fan speed reporting (I think all modern ones
do), but lacking the slightly more expensive fan that actually provides the
information.

I also would suggest disabling throttling and TCC on non-current systems.
11 will FINALLY disable these by default. (I've been beating this horse
since at least v7 and I am amazed that it was not dead!) While this might
not help, it will leave TCC at its default of "AUTO" for thermal control
instead of attempting to make it a power management tool.

In /boot/loader.conf:
hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1

Bah. Also, the reason I started looking into this is that I believe, cpu
cooling is busted. When I compile anything with more -j values, box
shuts down. I don't see any error on console or /var/log/messages but I
did see the temperature going up to dev.cpu.0.temperature: 86.0C right
before it shutdown.

I'll probably reapply the thermal paste and see.

I can literally head the fan noise. Even when the box is not doing anything.

Now, from the bios side, I tried a bunch of things without much success.

This is what I am looking at:

"Power Management Setup" -> ACPI Standby State 
options - S1/S3
"H/W Monitor" -> CPU Smart Fan Target : Disabled by default 
options - 40/45/50/44/60
  -> SYS FAN 1 Control  : Default 100%
options - 50%/75%/100%

- "PC Health Status" --
CPU Temperature 55C/131F
System Temperature  38C/100F
CPU FAN Speed   5928RPM
SYS FAN 1 Speed 0 RPM CPU Phase Control : Disabled by default
options - Auto/Disabled

What should be correct values for these? Any help/pointers would be great.

Cheers,
Hiren
