Never. My fans don't come on unless I'm working pretty hard. But I'm
running kernel 2.4.17 with acpi patches. Are you using APM or ACPI?
Interestingly the fans seem to come on almost immediately if I start a high
load program. This is completely independent of the supposed fan-control
support in ACPI because the ACPI bios is broken for fans & thermal.
