I wanted to drop a line merely to say that I have also been interested
in the general problem of fan control and am trying to work my way back
into the question now.
The Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop that I'm working with now does not have any
exposed BIOS settings for this, so monitor/control via the OS is the
only option.
It's running an Intel T2080 dual-core and the Intel Mobile 945GM Express
chipset. Lubuntu 14.04 32-bit is the OS.
Lubuntu has the lxpanel temperature monitor, which I installed, but that
only allows one to see that the computer is running hotter than
desired. I think it worked successfully even before I installed
lm-sensors and added the coretemp module (next).
Next I installed lm-sensors, ran sudo sensors-detect, accepted all the
defaults, and had it automatically add coretemp to /etc/modules. After
a reboot 'lsmod | grep coretemp' reports that the module is loaded.
Then running sensors in a terminal confirms the current temperature
displayed by the lxpanel applet.
That's where I am now, and I'm reading stuff at lm-sensors.org.
(I also started working this problem on a Dell a while back, but
i8kutils specifically targets Dells and their challenges -- and happens
to work on some other makes and models. So I think I was working on it
with i8kutils rather than lmsensors. Then I had to break off and do
something else and never got where I wanted to go, though I had some
success.)

Thank you, for the answer Israel.
I will try to give you the info, in this reply :)
My CPU is a 64bit (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz).
The output of the lshw is attached as a text file, with this reply.
I haven't had this running on any previous version, but i'm currently
running Linux V5-572G 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2
23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
It's my first time running Lubuntu on this computer.
Hope you can help.
