If it's under warranty and an overheating issue, it needs to be addressed by Lenovo. There might be BIOS settings or a Lenovo utility that can set the cooling mode. Essentially it sets the fan speed based on various temperature thresholds. Some modes are advertised as "quiet", which simply runs the fans slower more of the time.

Did it crash the first few months of ownership?

I installed RAM that should have been compatible with my work laptop, but it caused spontaneous reboots about once a day. Ended up removing that stick of RAM and never had issues again.

If I have a spare laptop I'll PM you. They're probably 6 years old though.
