Just to do a bit trial and error routine i added acpi=off to /etc/default/grub. 
The result was as expected that cpu was running at highest speed and as a 
change the fan decided to do the same at 84°C.
If not for cpu frequency i would have appreciated the improved speed.
This is what i found in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/CPUZ/trip_points

critical (S5):           108 C
passive:                 100 C: tc1=1 tc2=2 tsp=100 devices=CPU0 CPU1 C002 C003 
active[0]:               92 C: devices=FAN0 
active[1]:               84 C: devices=FAN1 
active[2]:               75 C: devices=FAN2 
active[3]:               57 C: devices=FAN3 
active[4]:               48 C: devices=FAN4 

I haven't seen 57°C for months, but know that a routine uses hwmon values as 
default trip points with fan speeds designed for lowest temperature, but where 
ever i look everything seems to be fine except that fan resumes to lowest speed 
after reaching 70°C and believe me it is hot.
Does ANYBODY know which routine should set up fan speeds.
It should be something that picks first trip_points and then puts hwmon values 
above or overrides trip point in favour of hwmon values.
Where ever i bend it comes down to hwmon values mixed with trip_ponts.

funny thing is that it starts with hwmon value 70°C getting faster at 75 and 
84°C omitting 92°C  trip-point and emergency shut-down at 95°C.
Nice mix and not to mention that all Ubuntu distros seem to have similar 
problems.

It is not the Bios
It is  not lm-sensors related
it has to be a setup routine
it needs to poll hwmon and fan trip ponts

the mistake has to come to life after hwmon is defined and Linuxtherm: is loaded
dmesg
acpi device:01: registered as cooling_device7
???
/sys/bus/acpi/devices/device:01/thermal_cooling/subsystem/cooling_device7/
cur_state = 6
max_state = 24
type = LCD
?????
It is not a cooling device but let me guess the adjustment for my LCD screen 
registered as cooling device 7
(at least cur_state changes after altering screen)

ANYBODY is this the bug or am i on the wrong trail
