The thermal sensor is on the processor itself. The stock Intel fan also has
a thermistor which controls the rpms of the fan according to the ambient
temps. If you have QFan enabled in the bios, try turning it off and let the
fan itself do it's own thing.

Many thanks Ed for your reply,
QFan was already disabled; I enabled it just for testing purposes but
nothing changed.
