Hmm, I don't think that's good idea. 0Celsius is not special value.

While having _CRT below 25Celsius would be quite strange (machine
that can not run on room temperature?), I could imagine it (cryogenic
cooling, cpu is overclocked, needs -10C to work).

Machine with AC0 == -10C is very easy to imagine, OTOH. It is normal
notebook that needs fans during normal temperatures, but does not need
it if it is really cold.
