Not really, I didn't check the bios, but in the other way, If I forced 
the Fan to run (echo "force_on:1" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/fan), the CPU 
temperature doesn't down from a 44 C and the Mother Board temperature 
doesn't down from the 46 C, even if I do nothing in the computer.
In the other way I set the file "trip_points" in the next form:
       echo -n "62:0:32:37:39" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
but the FAN,  still start working only after the temperature is around 
the 59 C. I don't know from where this configuration is coming.
There are other place when the temperature settings are configured ??
