Thanks Alessandro and Dumitru for your replies. I am not using Firefox. Just Chrome with the unveil setting. I thought at first it was linked to the browser but the fan will keep spinning even if I do not use any browsers. For instance, using Zim, homebank, terminal with vim editing or mutt, it will just spin at 4000+rpm even if the CPU shows a 50-52 degC. Fan will only stop when <= 50 degC, when laptop is idling.
However, I have the same observation as Alessandro, putting the computer to zzz and waking it up will stop the fan even if the cpu is in the 50-60 degC range.
