Think CPU performance not temperature. In the BIOS there are settings to choose optimizing CPU performance.Choosing the highest performance level defaults the fans to either run all the time, or at the least to run a lot more because the CPU is expected to work harder especially with video. It is common on Dells with skylake or older CPUs.Choose the in between setting for CPU performance,which is usually the one involving power saving. Linux ACPI support is not complete by any estimation for skylake CPUs and there is no real community interest as the issues are always minor. Generally BIOS binaries control the OEM fans on Intel stuff, an issue that is often not resolvable with software. It's basically a non issue on newer more expensive machines because there are Linux compatible add-on PCI fan controllers available for purchase for big gamer machines etc.
