No idea. Not necessarily.

So, it will *not* touch the EC fan control stuff at all.  It is also
reporting that the fan is stoppend (tachometer reads 0) -- assuming it
can actually read the tachometer in your computer.

Hmm, that *is* bad.  And your prime suspect.

No, that just means your GPU does not have its own fan, which is
expected since this is a notebook.

Looks like chipset thermometers... but not cooling devices.

Can you send me the DSDT and XSDTs?  You'll need a recent version of
acpidump to extract them.  Binary format (compressed) is fine, I can run
them through iasl (the ACPI AML disassembler) myself.
