I use Thinkfan on my T420, T440, X230 and X1 that run Linux. I linked the author's github page, but I believe it's available straight from the package manager in Ubuntu/Mint, so elementary might have it too. Source: 10 months ago

The second solution on this page probably isn't reliable, because hwmon paths like `hwmon3` depend on module load order. That's likely the same reason for the `card*` workaround mentioned above. I am using thinkfan for this and it works really well: https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
As thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan) doesn't come prepackaged with my Debian version I tried to build it myself. I installed all the libraries as instructed in the README file, and followed the build instructions. Running cmake works fine, but then when I run make I get the following linker error that I cannot solve no matter what I try (this is actually my first time building a project!):.

5) your fans may run on high after replacement of the drive because the lack Apple specific temp sensors. You can get a utility called ssd fan control set it to smart control and to start up with the system. You won’t have to worry about loud fans after that. Source: over 1 year ago
Keep in mind that when you swap the HDD on these iMacs, you'll lose the thermal control on the hard disk. Download this app and run it using the default settings. This will prevent your iMac from sounding like a jet engine and run the fan speeds to default. Source: over 2 years ago

It's possible to switch between two fan modes with "SSD fan controll" in macOS. Not sure if it'll work with FakeSMC, I'm on VirtualSMC. But I can't turn off EC. The only thing it does is that it writes fan values faster than the EC. Source: about 3 years ago
