Hi!

That fan finally gives up. I pinned governor to "powersave".

I get

deepdance:~> acpi -t
Thermal 0: ok, 52.0 degrees C

with values round from 50-57 degrees.

The laptop definately feels hotter.

How critical are these temperatures?

Usually only Amarok is running within KDE 4.6 (disabled desktop search).

I think I should try again to get a new fan for the thing. And also try 
opening and cleaning the existing one, maybe that helps.

Gosh! Ebay now has that coolers. Okay, then I will order some ;).

Ciao,
