Ok. I found a workaround. 1. you can monitor your fan speed from the thinkpad-acpi module: cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 2. you can adjust the fan speed to stay on at full speed by executing the following command as root: echo level disengaged /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
One I did that, the fan kicked up to 4000+ rpm and stayed there. The CPU temp stays at 94C under full load and goes no higher.
