I'm not sure that a fan control would help your overheating problem. Most laptops have internal fan controls that will be running wide open if it gets extremely warm. The smaller laptops get the hotter they will run. Can you consider using HWMonitor or CoreTemp to get a second opinion on the temp readings. Could be dust blocking your vents, also worth ensuring you have the most up-to-date bios. You may want to consider a chill pad, go here for a review of the best.

I hope this is helpful to you!
