Comment 79 for bug 1602888

@penalvch, yes, I was planning to rebuild my previous setup ( that had multiple issues ~4.4.0-51 or 53 ) for your suggested reporting

However, I just checked 4.4.0-57 during the week and noticed that my fans have been able to stop ( without any manual fixes )

For reference, the history of my current machine is:
 - 16.04.1 installation
 - enable intel-microcode
 - blacklist nouveau
 - $ sudo update-initramfs -u [everything working ok after this, except relentless fan issue]

 - accidental install of 4.4.0.53 [creates soft lockup boot issue not related to this report]
 - move back to 4.4.0-31, uninstall 4.4.0-53

 - install 4.4.0-57 for testing [fans now turning off]

summary it really looks like the fan issue is fixed in latest update

additional observation:
this is the first time I see psensor report the GPU temp as 1 C, as it should since I'm only using Intel HD Graphics
