Could it be a memory problem?

I will try that, thanks for your suggestion.

With my settings, at idle the cpu runs at 32°C and at full load about
39°C (according to sensors reading) at a room temperature of 23°C. I
guess this is safe even considering a conservative margin for the
temperature readings.
Or do you allude to that the fancontrol script bundled with lm-sensors
can be unreliable?
