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...

This temperature seems to be "normal" currently. Given environment
temperature is above 30 degrees, so I'd guess this not too high for a
laptop (as there's not much space in the case).

However, using some graphics, temperature arises even above 80 degrees,
that's much too high, so I'd expect the fan to rise speed, but the
amount is too few, cooling is not really successful.

As I'm neither a hardware nor a linux expert, I'd need some support to
find out what happens. First, I'd like to get some info about fan speed
- "sensors -u" is not sufficient.

Kind regards
Peter


Thank You altogether for help!

As I've been told in some other discussion, it's usual that laptop CPUs get very hot - so I'll stop to further investigate, for the moment.

Kind regards
Peter
