Ok.

You'd have good reason to get new one.

Ok, so it is the bios doing temperature control up-to 81C. At 81C,
linux should start cooling it, and at 88C, linux should shutdown. At
little higher temperature, hardware should emergency shutdown.

Fan is not controlled by ACPI. But we may be saving some memory we
should not save, or something like that.
