AFAIK, its IBMs fault, because the BIOS says the fan to turn on at 35C
which is of courese stupid. I've the same problem and it seems, that
there is no solution for this untill IBM fixes the fan control in the
BIOS. This is related to the weird fan noise, which was mentioned by
many T40 and T40p users ...
