Erm, this sounds like your system is *not* running hot, but that the fan
is always on.

It's difficult to guess from such incomplete information. You could try
running "powertop" in a console (konsole?) and see, but I think you said
your CPUs were not at 100% busy. So it might be a bios issue with your
laptop, e.g. needing a special boot option with the latest kernel.
