It depends on the actual culprit -- temperature values reported by ACPI
are absurd, _CRT value is absurd, fan control is broken, heatsink is not
attached properly to the CPU, etc. You could start out by posting make
and model of your laptop as well as the output for 

sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tzN

for all values of N that exist on your system.
