I have similar problems on a different system (MSI). I had intended
to use it as a MythTV box, but the fans would never get quite enough
for that, and I reloaded windows on the box. Windows quiets the
fans immediately after boot, and from then on they run based on
demand (cpu heat) rather than full speed all the time.

I never did solve this problem in spite of loading every sensor
package I could find.

Have you tried this?

I've never used it myself, but.... maybe it's a solution to
controlling fans speeds and thus noise factor?
