I expect that the thermocouple that measures the temperature has aged
and is reporting higher temperatures.  Before assuming that, I would
check that you don't have dust clogging the vents or otherwise
impaired airflow.

Look at the man page for acpi_thermal to change the temperature
warnings.

My laptop was shutting down from overtemperature until I realized that
I had placed it next to something that was blocking the fan vent.

R's,
