Yeah, on two machines I get

acpitz0 at acpi0 (THRM): active cooling level 0: 73.0C critical 75.0C 
passive 40.0C

while on the third I have

acpitz0 at acpi0 (THRM): active cooling level 0: 122.0C critical 124.0C 
passive 40.0C

So in other words, it should be "doing the right thing" already?  :)

Somehow those temp levels seem pretty hot, especially the last one! 
I've never seen any of these machines run anywhere near 50C, let alone 
73 or 122.
