Re: Turning on fans?
FWIW
Im sure youre right to focus on the fans first, but if your cpu supports it perhaps you could consider compiling a kernel to make use of frequency scaling.Comment

You're right: My bios doesn't have a setting to turn on and off fans - it only allows you to see some stats such as speed and temp. Sorry.

Re: Turning on fans?
Check your /proc/acpi directory you should have a fan folder. For example mine is /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state. In konsole type sudo echo on > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state. This will only turn your fan on and will run at full speedThis is side one flip me overComment
