I set the active trip point to 45 C and the passive to 50 C, then ran a compile to see if the fan triggered. While the temperature got above 50 C, the fan never came on. In fact, I don't know if the fan would come on even if the originally-specified trip points were reached. Either way, this isn't exactly the most comforting situation to observe.
