Trying to follow these instructions: How to control fan speed?

I get this error when runnting pwmconfig: /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

It is possible your fans or motherboard don't support pulsed-width control, I'd remove laptop-tools if installed and use TPS and thermald:
