Cpu fans depend heavily on the manufacturer's design, and you can sometimes 
control the temperature it starts to blow through acpi.  Have a look at the 
page about linux on my laptop (mine's a dothan processor) here:
http://www.cancullet.org/benqjb7000/BenqJB7000_linux.html#optimizing

Note that the speedstep-centrino module should be loaded by hotplug/udev; 
adding that line to /etc/modules is the way to force the system to load the 
centrino speedstep support module.

In my oppinion that's not relevant, unless you see the same behaviour in 
windows...

Good luck  ;)
