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?

No, haven't tried that.

My problem was that lm-sensors could never find any sensors
which it could control. It always crapped out saying it could not
find any sensors. Since this package relies on lm sensors it seems
unlikely to work.

I suspected that my mobo uses some odd-ball chip set for its sensors
and the version of lm sensors found on SuSE 9.3 were not up to the
task. I periodically throw various Live CDs into the machine
to see if any of them can manage it, but so far no luck.
