Unless you have a Dell (i8kutils) or a Toshiba, so far as I have been 
able to ascertain, you are out of luck.

I suppose it would have to do with drivers/acpi/fan.c or 
drivers/acpi/thermal.c in the kernel source tree.

I'm not quite sure what the "fan" module in the ACPI section of the 
kernel config is supposed to do; I get nothing in /proc/acpi/fan/, and 
the source is undocumented.

You could try searching the LKML?

But then you very well could fry your laptop; I've heard worse.
