Is this one ever changed?

This one means that coling will never be used, why:
my output looks like this:
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 85.0C 75.0C 60.0C 50.0C -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

You can play with all thermal values once you enable:
hw.acpi.thermal.user_override

But acpi may redo such values again after some time.
You only real workaround is to use modified acpi ASL:
it is explained in handbook.

In my case I fixed in that way bogus kernel
message "_CRT value is absurd, ignored".
