Hii
Here are the details you asked for:-
Could not find the fan config details ... says as not such files of
directory.
#cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/*
cat: /proc/acpi/fan/*/*: No such file or directory
# cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/*
<setting not supported>
cooling mode: passive
polling frequency: 2 seconds
state: ok
temperature: 52 C
critical (S5): 97 C
passive: 93 C: tc1=2 tc2=3 tsp=40 devices=0xffff81001bee9b80
Thanks

Is there anyways I could opt my fan to keep runnin ... all time? This isn't supported in my bios.

In order to make valid comparisons, we should also note the ambient temperature. The fans cannot cool to below ambient. My AMD64 is 2.2 GHz. When it runs at 800 MHz, this is what I get at an ambient temperature of 25°C:
gus@presario:~> powersave -rT Thermal Device no. 0: Temperature: 37 Critical: 90 Passive: 88 797.938721 MHz
Since I have not resolved the java issue with my OpenOffice, which puts a lot of load on the CPU, I used it as a means to get the CPU to run at 1.8 GHz and even 2.2 GHz for a while. This is what I get then:
gus@presario:~> powersave -rT Thermal Device no. 0: Temperature: 61 Critical: 90 Passive: 88 2194.327637 MHz
You can find files with fan settings and other parameters relating to thermal management in the directory '/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM'. Since your BIOS may be controlling most of these settings, I don't know which of them would have any impact if set by the user --if they can be written to. Nonetheless, they may give you a better idea of how your system works.
