how to control fan on ubuntu in lenovo legion y530

On a Lenovo Legion Y530 running Ubuntu 18.04, ideally I don't hear the fan running. When I do Fn+Alt+q, the fan start to run very fast; the laptop start to heat and after some time it run for certain period of time.

I tried lm-sensors and pwmconfig which responds with:

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

If pwmconfig is not going to work, can you tell me an alternative so that I can run my laptop fan continuously in certain seed.

Found an AppImage to switch on "Extreme Cooling". Works as expected. Run it as root.
