Hey, I have this problem even on my W530 and W541 systems with the vendor BIOS, so I don't think this is really coreboot related. I've taken two steps to fix it : 1) I use thinkfan to max out the fan speed early and keep it there longer. 2) I limit the processor speed to its maximum normal speed with cpufreq-set.
These two steps have fixed my problem. Just adjusting the fan speed didn't do it for me - I still got thermal shutdowns. Hope this helps.
