OK, rereading this, I don't quite understand what is going on. Your fan speed should be based on your CPU temperature, not its frequency. If it is running full time, that means your processor is running hot. Can you download CoreTemp and run it. That will tell you the CPU utilization and temperatures.
The only way the CPU should be that hot is thar some process or the kernel is putting a high load on the system, or you are idle, but the heat sink/fan is not seated properly or working well.
