Thank you for your reply,

The drivers are loaded, I've obtained the listing via lsmod.
Do you have any idea where else should I ask my question for higher chances
of obtaining an answer?

Simply put, the problem is that my Dell Inspiron N5010 (15R) is overheating
on Linux with very low CPU usage, but does not present any issues on 
Windows.
I've tried utilities like dellfand and i8kfan for controlling the fans, 
but they both claim
that I have only one fan and that it's already at highest speed (not 
sure if I have more
than one fan, or if the heating up is caused by the CPU or the GPU).
