Yes! That works! Is there a special reason why you suggested the value
91? Because I added thermal.crt=99 as I saw it on some occasion on my
system.

Now I get:

# acpi -V
Thermal 0: ok, 64.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 99.0
degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 105.0
degrees C

and

Thank you for your kind help,
