Indeed. The 4.2-rc7 kernel allows the fan to spin down so low that I
cannot hear it anymore. This seems fixed in 4.2

Title:
  pstate_idle is broken on 4.1, high fan speed when idle

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The system has high fan speed even when idle. Overall, the fan never
  gets to a fan speed as low as with the 3.13 kernel.

  When running the kernel with intel_pstate=disable, i get much more
  governor choices, and when selecting "powersave" with this, i get much
  better behavior, just as with the 3.13 kernel.
