Ubuntu 10.04: Fan speed

My CPU fan always keep high speed all the time. I use pwmconfig to control it. Now,it works fine with my Gateway PC. But I have to modify /etc/fancontrol even the changes may be lost,because I don't know where to set MINSTART and MINSTOP by running pwmconfig...:-(

Here's the /etc/fancontrol:
$ cat /etc/fancontrol
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=10
DEVPATH=hwmon2=devices/platform/it87.2576
DEVNAME=hwmon2=it8720
FCTEMPS= hwmon2/device/pwm1=hwmon2/device/temp1_input
FCFANS= hwmon2/device/pwm1=hwmon2/device/fan1_input
MINTEMP= hwmon2/device/pwm1=20
MAXTEMP= hwmon2/device/pwm1=60
MINSTART= hwmon2/device/pwm1=50
MINSTOP= hwmon2/device/pwm1=0
MAXPWM= hwmon2/device/pwm1=120

Now, the CPU fan running on 983 RPM. That's very nice and no noise anymore!!!!

So far, no issue....
