H Hallo

Why are you running 32-bit Debian? Your processor is 64-bit. I would run 64-bit Debian: 

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/11.7.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso



and the fan services are not working.



Does the fan operate when you power up the computer?


Does the fan operate when you enter the Setup utility?
Does the Setup utility have a diagnostics page that shows the fan RPM? If so, what is the fan RPM?
Does the Setup utility have any settings to control the fan? What are the names of the settings, what options are available, and what are the current settings? 



i write system to enable fancontrol
and systemctl lm-sensors enable but worse when i write systemctl status
fancontrol, i see Active failed Result exit-code and i write
/usr/sbin/fancontrol —check and i see some mandatory settings are missing
and in /etc/fancontrol i have:
[Unit]
  Description=Start fancontrol, if configured
ConditionFileNotEmpty=/etc/fancontrol
After=lm_sensors.service
[Service]
Type=simple
PIDFile=/var/run/fancontrol.pid
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/fancontrol
[Install]

Check the status of the systemd fancontrol service:

fancontrol is not installed on my system.  Look for a Debian package:

2023-06-10 15:02:10 root@taz ~
# apt-cache search fancontrol
fancontrol - utility to control the fan speed


Install the fancontrol Debian package:

RTFM fancontrol(8):

CONFIGURATION
For easy configuration, there's a script named pwmconfig(8) which lets you interactively write your configuration file for fancontrol. Alter- natively you can write this file yourself using the information from 
       this manpage.
I suggest that you RTFM fancontrol(8) and pwmconfig(8), and then run pwmconfig(8).

p.s. RTFM fancontrol(8) I also see:

WARNING
Please be careful when using the fan control features of your main- board, in addition to the risk of burning your CPU, at higher tempera- tures there will be a higher wearout of your other hardware components, too. So if you plan to use these components in 50 years, maybe you shouldn't use fancontrol at all. Also please keep in mind most fans 
       aren't designed to be powered by a PWMed voltage.
I allow the computer firmware to control fans. I use the Xfce panel Sensor plug-in to monitor processor temperature. I suggest that you do the same.
