I got an update for my BIOS off Compaq but I don't know if I can control fan speeds.

When you do a BIOS update you lose all the previous information that was on the BIOS as everything defaults to it's original settings - in the BIOS mostly under overclocking options there are is an option called fan controller and there will be a number of options to turn them to quiet - so they don't rev up as much.
