I one of my sensors, either the ones inside the CPU, or the ones on the motherboard, are broken.  They report different temperatures, CPU reading says 48, motherboard reading says 59.  Since the motherboard controls the fan speed, it's probably adjusting it according to 59.
Still, should be able to change the fan speed policy.  Both MSI and ASUS AMD boards I've had allow you to set a CPU fan target (I typically set it at 70C).  Unsure about Gigabyte, though it doesn't have the option for my Gigabyte-Intel board (can set warning, but not fan target).
