Which kernel?

Unless a bug was introduced here, these values either come from the chip
itself, or from your configuration file, depending on whether you ran
"sensors -s" or not.

Setting the correct "set fanN_min" lines in the lm78-* section of the
/etc/sensors.conf and running "sensors -s" afterwards should do.

Fan dividers divide an internal clock, they do not alter the final speed
value.

You can't disable it at the driver level, but you should be able to do
so at the libsensors level by adding the following line to
/etc/sensors.conf (in the lm78-* section, obviously):

   ignore alarms
