Time for a new Project: FAN SPEED

Alright, I've decided it's related to my fans.  (My problems,
spontaneous power off).  And the lack of temperature stepping in Linux.

There has to be more than one temperature sensor in this silly thing, or
if there's just one that's fine too.

I haven't found a project on this yet -- has anyone else?  I suppose I
better describe now.

1)  Detect Current Fan Speeds and ALL Temperatures inside Sony Laptop 
(I'm using a GRX600K)
2)  Be able to Adjust Fan Speeds, First Manually, THEN Automatic
3)  Be able to automatically adjust power consumption/performance and
throttling.  Throttling is the big one.  I can do these manually, but I
really want a way to be able to adjust Throttling w/o having to su - as
root.

Alright, if someone knows of a project that does this, that'd be great. 
If you don't, that's fine.  If you have any idea on how I should go
about finding out all the info so I can do this -- that'd be great. 
I've dealt with peripherals/removable hardware/etc, that's always been a
fun challenge.  But I could remove them and study state changes/etc. 
All of this is internal and I don't know how to directly check it out.

Thanks for the help/etc.  I feel this is something greatly needed for
the Sony Laptops -- especially in light of Sony telling me this morning
(in regards to me calling again about my laptop powering off/losing
power w/o warning) :  "That is perfectly acceptable behavior.  Everyones
computer does that from time to time."  I was not a nice customer in
response to that.

Thanks!

Jay
