On Ubuntu 16.04, I added the following line to /etc/thinkfan.conf
hwmon /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input
Solved the issue. I can now hear myself think, and heavy usage (like compiling
big source trees) makes the fan kicks in as expected. I expect this to have a
very significant positive impact on my battery life!
