As it's probably not FreeBSD you're now asking on the wrong list, and 
other than cooling advice you're not going to get much (unless there are 
any closet over-clockers hereabouts). Personally I favour filling the 
whole case with a pumped fluorocarbon like FC-77 and using a heat 
exchanger to take the heat away in water to use in a fountain in my 
hallway ;-)

The one sensible suggestion no one has made is to check if a BIOS 
upgrade doesn't fix it. As to getting FreeBSD to manage it instead of 
the BIOS: Unfortunately not all chipsets and motherboards are supported. 
If you want to add support yourself see:

/usr/src/sys/dev/acpica

If you want to get some idea of what you're up against see:

/usr/src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_quirks

I've thought about it a few times but real work always got in the way.

Regards, Frank.
