moisespedro, I'll repeat what I stated in this thread - fan control is generally not a user-settable feature. You can monitor, but you cannot adjust fan speeds.

You can use apmd(8) and set one of the low power consumption modes such as cool running. This is not the same thing as adjusting a fan's speed under operator control, but can quiet a system that is not under heavy load.

Thanks for sharing your dmesg. I can see that:
  • Your BIOS is up to date -- revision 1101 is the most recent BIOS for your motherboard.
  • You have an aibs(4) ASUSTeK fan controller. The aibs driver has not had any new development since 5.5-release. (src/sys/dev/acpi/atk0110.c)
  • Your video card, as reported by drm(4), has its own internal fan and thermal control. This may mean the loudest fan is on your video card.
Refer to the aibs man page (link above) for details on what the aibs controller can report to you via sysctl(8).
