Forcing PS fan to come on, FC6.

I've posted a couple of messages concerning the changes in ACPI in FC6.  
I've got the i686 kernel running on the system now, but I still don't 
hear my power supply fan coming on.  Up to and including FC5 the fan 
stayed on while Fedora was running.  With FC6 it's the complete 
opposite, the fan does not come on at all.  I've googled for how to 
determine if the temp is getting too high in the box (it's only used for 
home work, research etc) or any metric at all on it, but nothing so far 
has given me results.

Is there a way to make that fan come on and stay on?  Is this a known 
tweak to FC6's acpi implementation?  I'm quite concerned about this 
right now, even though the system seems fine.  Can I get some ideas on this?
