It doesn't seem that your system is missing the fan, at least the CPU
temperature looks just fine.
Can you try to load the CPU some more to see if it heats up too much.

What I mean is that maybe before the fan was at top speed when it
wasn't actually needed, and now it is working better...

After installing Linux 4.7.2, the situation seems to be better, but not as good as before.

Fan is running and speed is rising, but obviously not to its maximum. Before I got Linux 4.7, the fan was really loud, when I used some graphics - now the max speed seems to be limited.

As Rodrigo says, I wouldn't expect your fan to be running at full speed for temperatures like that. With your new setup are you ever reaching higher temperatures? If not, that seems like a good thing, surely? You wouldn't want your computer to be regularly overheating through standard use...
