Did you install lm-sensors? use sensors to monitor the fan:

$ sensors
....
fan1: ....

If the fan not work, please enable it:

make it work at manual mode:

$ echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1_enable

set the PWM to the highest

$ echo 3 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

It works at auto mode, perhaps there is some problem with the
fancontrol, I will check the kernel support later.
