There is 1 thermal zone in the DSDT
and it is returning a constant
0xBB8 = 3000 dK = 300.0 K = 26.85 C:

            Method (_TMP, 0, Serialized)
            {
                If (ECON) {...Return(...)}

                Return (0x0BB8)
            }

There are no active trip points in the TZ,
and thus even if the TZ were functioning,
ACPI would not control the fans.

"ECON" is referenced in many places in the supplied DSDT,
and lots of functions are gutted when it is not set.
I don't know what is supposed to set ECON -- maybe the
rest of the acpidump will tell us; or maybe there is 
some sort of BIOS SETUP option...

We could scribble on it if we want to find out, it lives here:

OperationRegion (NVST, SystemMemory, 0xBF6BCE95, 0x0000003A)
    Field (NVST, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)

        PRM1,   8,
