The probable cause of the constant fan running is an accumulation of dust on the Microprocessor Thermal Cooling Assembly and Hybrid Cooling Fan. The Service Manual at this link explains how to get access to these parts. Get a can of Dust Remover non-flammable gas from an Electronic Parts store to safely get rid of the dust.

And after you get the dust all out of it, use i8kfangui to control the heat.
