It was mainly a hardware problem. Cleaning the fan and especially
replacing the thermal grease helped to reduce the max temp from 96C to
less than 80C.
Enabling the package 'thinkfan' with default configuration also helps
reducing further ~5C, and to slow down the rise in temperature when
above 60C.
