I had my laptop "deep-cleaned" in an authorized service (essentially,
completely disassemble of the heatsink part, cleaning, applying new thermal
paste, assemble).

Temperatures during heavy load have gone down by as much as 20 degrees, and I
am no longer able to reproduce this no matter how much load I impose on the
poor thing. In fact I'm unable to cause the fan to go 100%, unlike before where
it sometimes went to 100% even without any serious load.
Before the servicing, I also managed to eliminate the issue by using an active
cooling pad. So for me, this was definitely caused by temperature being too
high, as I reported previously.

Still, I wouldn't expect a laptop to panic when core temperature peaks at 85
celsius degrees as reported by acpi-tz, and the reported temperature in panic
message is entirely off (127 degrees). In fact I could imagine some laptops
with not so well designed cooling, for which this temperature may be an
out-of-the-box (no thick layer of dust) experience under heavy load. Perhaps
that is the case of some other reporters who simply run too hot normally, and
get "random" panics.
