installing i8kutils stops loud fan noise

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 desktop on a Dell 5521 laptop. When I install i8kutils, fan noise stops suddenly without doing any configuration. When I check with i8kfan command, output is -1 0. When I want to change configuration with the i8kfan command (for example I run i8kfan -1 1), after a second later it changes to -1 0 again. Is this situation normal?
