I had trouble with the fan permanently on.
After installing this, it did not work, even after several restarts.
What ended up working was shutting down completely (I suppose so the fan physically stops), and booting up again. Glorious silence!
Of course, when messing with your fan settings be sure to watch the temperatures.
In addition to a statusbar monitor, for choosing your fan speed I recommend fancontrol-gui, ran as LANG=C fancontrol_gui to use Celsius.
