"Like I said laptops do not have settings like you are talking abut in the bios. You will never find a setting like that in a laptop bios."
Wrong. And most modern laptops 5 years and newer default to fans always on, and also include a testing suite for the hardware. Many like HPs newer i5s and i7s won't even allow OS booting with the fans turned off. I had two brand new HP i7s go through the shop here two weeks ago both ruined by the user tinkering, annoyed with fan noise. One wouldn't boot at all (fan not working message) and the other would but began to smoke after ten minutes or so. I defaulted the BIOS on both of them after testing the fans and they now work perfectly. Default is fans always on. Linux cannot address every OEM hardware/firmware configuration even on very modern laps, and notably with the 8th generation of Intel CPUs OEMs like HP and Dell have begun to install failsafe settings controlled by the firmware that Linux cannot tinker with. And yes there are usually CPU performance settings you can use with Sandy Bridge CPUs and Core 2 Duos that decrease the fan noise. It's confusing because sometimes they are under CPU performance, sometimes power saving settings, sometimes SSE settings (hibernate, suspend etc., and sometimes fan settings, though not often. Also fans on laptops cool more than the CPU, so CPU temps are not the tell all when considering heat on hardware. CPU temps can be taken as a baseline for general hardware temps, but other hardware may need more cooling than you think, so just because your CPU is relatively cool, the correlation to your other hardware temps can have an unpredictable factoring exponent. Computers are built by computer builders, not by for instance tool and die machine builders. What this means is that they often have very imprecise means of controlling natural phenomenon like temperatures. If you like fun, and your lap is not particularly important to you go ahead and tinker. If you just spent $2000 on a new HP lap, probably best to leave it alone with its default settings.
