I must admit that I don't now, but I haven't touched the trip_points which =
are=20
set to
=20
critical (S5):           94 C
passive:                 92 C: tc1=3D5 tc2=3D4 tsp=3D600 devices=3D0xdfffef=
e0

and I think that these values are supplied by the BIOS or the DSDT. Hence t=
hey=20
should be correct for this processor type (I am trusting the manufacturer=20
that far ...)
