Hi,
If BIOS does not export fan controls to OS via DSDT, it means that BIOS wants to control fans via its own means (hardware), this doesn't mean that your machine is at risk, it only means that you are not allowed to tamper with it...
Well, except the original poster complained that linux but not windows was shutting down the fan - meaning - surely - that somehow linux is tampering with the fan when it should not.
