Have a look at that one. You can set lower rpm, and lower and upper temperatur limits at which the rpm starts faster and hit full speed.
Works fine for me...
Yes, sorry.
It is within the system preferences...
Before using it you have to reboot and repair rights...
Ok, Im sorry for being such a putz. Here's my problem. I originally installed SMC fan control and it worked GREAT! Then while screwing around I threw it into the trash. Then I tried that other control from the German site and I didnt care for it. So, I through that into the trash rebooted and then reinstalled SMC. the trouble is it isnt responding well like it did before. Before it would adjust to temperatures. Now I try and set my own and they arent working. I try and set for example, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 6000 etc etc. Before I could do it, now it wont.
Im frustrated and lost damn it. Serves me right for leaving the Mac 15 years ago.

I never liked Fan Control for the very reason you are having trouble. It is more intrusive than smcFanControl and has caused more problems (that I have seen) when people update or uninstall it.
The others have provided the steps to resolve the situation, so I won't repeat.
