freebsd stable - Nov 2013 - BETA3 running *hot* on my Acer 5553g (AMD Mobile Phenom)

Hi all,

I just installed FreeBSD 10 BETA3 on my Acer 5553g, which before had
9-stable running.

This laptop allways was quite hot, but with 9-stable it ran around 52C
when idle...
Now this is up to 60C, and when I actually use it the temp reaches 94C
and it only survivies through throttling the cpu.

I've switched of the descrete graphics card (which doesn't work with kms
anyway) and use the hd4200 on the motherboard only. (see
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=29448)

I tried everything I know, but have no idea where to go from here. I
just ordered one of these horrible laptop-cooling stands, which will
probably help the machine to survive, but also probably be very loud :(

Any ideas, tips, help welcome. 

Some Infos:

- the systems seems to use C1E (only C1 state visible)
- dmesg: http://pastebin.com/NaEQXYBH
loader.conf: http://pastebin.com/bnmqPak3
rc.conf: http://pastebin.com/HKERzgde

Anything else? 

Any help would be most welcome,

Have you had a chance to run Linux 3.10 (or earlier, but not 3.11+) on
it? Or read any reports of that version of Linux on this laptop?

I don't know if this could be related, but the Radeon kernel driver in
Linux before 3.11 (FreeBSD's driver is based on 3.8) doesn't support
many power management features. That's why I'm asking about Linux
behavior.

I'm curious if you're running powerd or not
