Hi, Matt.
It looks like you've updated coreboot firmware, it's now dated 2016.09.06.
I like new thermal thresholds for Haswell Cromebox (I have a Dell one), but there's a question.
https://github.com/MattDevo/coreboot/blo.../thermal.h :
Maybe it's better to change 55 to 62 or so?
The CPU runs at near 64 Celsius in my case when watching FullHD IPTV and "low" FAN speed.
It was 62 Celsius and "medium" FAN speed with old thresholds.
I like the present situation much more, of course. But if the temperature rises for some reason for a short time above 67 Celsius and then falls back, the FAN will remain at MEDIUM speed.
55 degrees seems to be too low for Chromebox in active state.
Thank you.

Code:
/* Fan is at MEDIUM speed */
#define FAN2_THRESHOLD_OFF 55
#define FAN2_THRESHOLD_ON 67
#define FAN2_PWM 0x76
