Sorry for that, now I know how to do it.

I switched the setting to ACPI 2.0

Done.

Have the latest bios available from asus homepage.

Some more info. Don't know if it is of use but I have configured munin to
read the sensor output.
Over the last ~24hour both the fan RPM readings has decreased with ~4000 rpm
in a very stable decrease over time.
During the same period the temp readings have been very stable on the same
level.

Thanks
Anders
