How to control my fan when using ubuntu 18.04.2 lts, my model is Lenovo legion y530?

And when i run the lm-sensors, there is not showing my fan info, but my laptop had 2 fans.

Because when i running ubuntu, its temperature of the core is up to 60+ °C

Can you hear the fans spinning at all? On my Y530 running 18.04.2 the fans would still spin up randomly as they do on windows.

seems strange that its not detecting the pwm sensors. As a last resort, you could try running a live usb of 19.04 and seeing if pwm works there.

I do know how to control fan in ubuntu, just press fn + q, as the fan is controlled by bios

This app solves the problem. You can max the fans at will:
