You probably can't do anything against that, I'm seeing it too on my T40.

There are many discussions about the "T40 fan problem" in newsgroups,
seems like IBM botched this model.  I've heard from inofficial sources
that it's a problem with the on-board temperature sensor, so maybe you can
solve this by replacing the system board.
