I'm trying to see if even when the fan is max, the system is too hot.

To anyone: if you set your fan to max, is your system still too hot during heavy CPU charge and reboot ?

Reminder: to set your fan to max:
$ sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi
$ sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
$ echo "level 127" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
