I'm searching for a way, to manage the laptops fan speed. It seems that it constantly runs at the same speed, so when I try for example playing games that put some stress on my computer, I can see graphic artifacts.

I've seen this link How to control fan speed? and tried to install things how I'm supposed to, but unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have any "pwm-capable sensor modules installed".

I had a similar issue on my laptop. Its fan went on/off for seemingly no reason (temp cca. 40 Celsius). The following grub update did the trick to me:

In terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Then change the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"

and after this line add

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='acpi_osi="!Windows 2012"'

It works like a charm for me.
