i just downloaded this, but it shows all temperature values as 0.0 degrees! how do i completely get rid of this and set the speeds back to normal, because now they are at like 3500+ rpm

I think smcFanControl has an option to reset things to the default settings.

Alternatively, search Apple's support site for information on resetting the PMU (power management unit) and/or SMC (system management controller) for your system/model.
