Unless the BIOS locks down control of fan speed (as is the case with some Dell models), you should be able to use
fancontrol
to modify your fan curve.You can install it with
sudo apt install fancontrol
, then you would runsudo pwmconfig
to run fan tests and create a config file. To reduce fan noise you would typically raise the minimum trigger temperature to engage the fans.If the tests came out alright, enable fancontrol with
sudo systemctl enable fancontrol --now
