Your fan is coming on while it's using ~15 - 20% CPU?

Have you tried unplugging it? I know on my wife's sometimes recharging the battery would make it hot enough to kick the fans on.

There are three or four sources of heat. HD, Power Supply, GPU and CPU. It's usually the CPU, but can be one of those other three.

Google is your frenemy.
