That won't work.

sudo is only running the "echo stuff" part. Your shell is doing the redirection as the current user, so if the current user doesn't have write access to the destination file, it won't work. Try it.

What you want is something more like this:

sudo sh -c "echo '105:100:100:78:70:60:50' > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ0/trip_points"

Be careful of the quoting.
