Booting on a previous kernel did not help. If I boot on a different distribution or on windows, the OS does not see the fan speed sensor, and the computer overheats slowly all the same. But as I said, I already had similar problems with this computer (the fan was not spinning at all, then), and I remember that it showed across distributions in the same way. If I remember, I concluded back then that something had set a bios flag that prevented the bios from handling the fan properly for other OSes.
Hm. On top of what others have said about crud maybe plugging things up, this paragraph suggests to me that your laptop may have crap for bios, that you should perhaps look for an update.

Indeed that's something I hadn't thought of. But I updated that bios the first time I had an issue with the fans (back then, it didn't help, or at least not directly), and there has been no new version since then.
