he want that you compile a new kernel to do a test (you could choose
any other action that is CPU hungry (compile X11, crack prime number,
...)). By doing so the temperature of the CPU should increase, and then
you will see if the fan switch on.
There is no risk that you burn your CPU. if the fan don't go up and you
system freeze, just switch it off (no panic you have time) and report to
the list that the fan did not switch on.
