And it's seems impossible that after starting the OS the fan reaches 70 °C, 
and after 2 minutes it reaches 90 °C.. so there must be a way to regulate it.


Unless you have a Dell (i8kutils) or a Toshiba, so far as I have been 
able to ascertain, you are out of luck.


I suppose it would have to do with drivers/acpi/fan.c or 
drivers/acpi/thermal.c in the kernel source tree.


I'm not quite sure what the "fan" module in the ACPI section of the 
kernel config is supposed to do; I get nothing in /proc/acpi/fan/, and 
the source is undocumented.


You could try searching the LKML?

But then you very well could fry your laptop; I've heard worse.
