Snapshot -current #427 did not solve the problem after all. so after much testing with bios options, disabling the intel acceleration and even the chrome "hardware acceleration", nothing seems to stop the fan from spinning. It will take a good 5min for the fan to stop when computer is idling (activity of 96-98% idling, using top CS). If I do a zzz like after one minute of idling and wake it right after, the fan just stops. CPU temp remains the same as before the zzz.
Not sure what to do next, I believe this could be reproduced on any X1 6G... Just install 6.6, log through xenodm, launch Chrome, heavy programs to start the FAN spinning then idle the laptop and see how long it takes for the fan to stop. You should also be able to reproduce the other behaviour: when cpu temp is 55-60degC and fan spinning, you can zzz and wake it right away, fan remains stopped (as long as you don't do cpu intense tasks upon awake) would a "sendbug" be helpful?
