They generally are on constantly, going between low and high speeds depending on temp. Is the laptop unusually hot at all?

Might be very obvious but check the fan inlet for any build up of dust and crap.

You're running a desktop cpu in a laptop = HOT!
The pentium chips run very warm and placing them in laptop just adds to the heat, that fan is running at that speed for a reason, i wouldnt advise turning it lower , could damage the chip.
