You can use an application Called Speed fan, it tells you if your fans are one (Gives you the fan rpm) and it also gives you the temperature of some of your hardware ( like Hdd, or Cpu. Ect) if thats what you mean by laptop fan temperature.? http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php (for speed fan download)

You asked, he gave you an answer. SpeedFan is very popular.

But anyway...look for the exhaust vent on the laptop. If you feel airflow, the fan is on. If you don't, it's not. Same way you check a desktop... Laptop exhaust fans are not on 100% of the time.

yeah speedfan is the best

i usually use the bios tho cos speedfan and everest dont tell the correct temp sometimes

Yeah, BIOS offers a nice number. The CPU is running at 100%, so it's a realistic rating.

When ur in he bios, the cpu is running at 100%???????? so its not a good place to get idle temps?

Sorry - 100% speed, no EIST. Not 100% usage. Sorry for the confusion

If it's a Core 2 Duo just get Core Temp, I use it and it's able to log temps.

 

[BluePlum]

its centrino duo.

That's a core based CPU. CoreTemp will work. It will read a high temperature though, sometimes 15C higher than read by the BIOS or other programs like speedfan or PCwizard.
