This always confuses me: "my fans are too noisy"
Have you considered that a) your fans are crap b) the thermal connections to heat-sensitive parts of your computer are crap, causing them to run hotter therefore setting the fans off or c) turning the fans down manually for the sake of "noise" could be causing your machine harm?

Judging by your dmesg (bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M5A78L-M LX/BR, so a desktop... seriously does that thing have a parallel and serial port on it? I may have to get me one...) you can actually do something about a) and b) so I would start there.

True bugs need to be dealt with, but seeing as # apmd -C turned your fans down, I'd look towards things you can take care of.
