I'm running 5.4-STABLE using an asus A8V (socket 939) with cool'nq
enabled in BIOS - CPU 28overnight - 38 deg C idle during day and jump
to 44 (eg: compiling jdk15/make -j4 buildworld) in a 25deg C
environment (a reasonably warm room to begin with).  I don't have
cpufreq device (using 5.4).  But I've not seen the temps you mention -
60 sounds hot to me.
