Try to use fancontrol which is part of lm_sensors. Install lm-sensors:

sudo apt install lm-sensors

and configure it like here has been suggested.

Maybe you can use nbfc

My laptop is an Acer Aspire E5-573G nothing else worked to control the CPU fan, but nbfc. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. The exact profile for my model is missing, but nbfc worked fine with another similar profile (Acer Aspire E5-575G). If you don't know which profile to use, you can try: mono nbfc.exe config -r
