I have heat problems on BSDs. I tried using both OpenBSD and FreeBSD
and both had the same problem I tried fixing those problems by
searching through internet and didn't find anything It works perfectly
fine on linux. I don't know what to do seems like I am gonna stick to
linux.

Also look up amp and apmd on the openbsd side. Things still get warm
depending on the setup, but that should make things more reasonable.

I looked at them tried them but they didn't work for me nothing
changed at all.

That's strange. I had a laptop that would shut off about 3 mins after
boot but with apm/d it didn't get to that point. Might be the
cpu/chipset and [lack of] support. I haven't dug that far into it.

I am thinking the same thing but when I vmstat -i acpi0 doesn't
increase rapidly so it shouldn't have problem with acpi0

Can you name the laptop model that causes you these troubles ?
