"CPU temp at 100% utilization was 42° C. With the lamp, CPU temp rose to 47° C before the fan finally began to speed up. It hit 3700 at 50° C, then stabilized with the bulb almost touching the fan center. At that point, the fan noise measured 59 dBA."

The P4 stock fan has a thermal control built into it. I read somewhere that it is on the wire near the fan, but I don't remember ever seeing it. One of the thermal design documents discusses how to orient the fan in the airflow to get proper results.
