This is something that bugs me about Apple's recent hardware actually;
there seems to be no way to get information about why it has decided
the fans need to be on (or, for that matter, whether it realises that
the fans are on).

I think I mentioned on the group at the time; I recently bought a G5
desktop and after a very short while, all the fans decided they needed
to be on at full speed. I had to send it to the local AASP and the fix
was to replace the logic board.
