Paul you're hardware handicapped.  :(  All the modern Asus boards (and
many others) have the "Qfan-2" feature which controls fan speed based on
user configurable BIOS settings.  Apparently you never read your
motherboard manual.  You need no OS level software to control the fan speed.

You can whine over "it worked but now it doesn't, and why is that?" or
you can simply go into your BIOS and set it the way you want and be done
with it.

Your case is but one of many reasons I've have scolded this industry for
many years WRT OS/application level control of hardware features such as
voltages, frequencies, and fan speeds.  If the hardware and/or BIOS are
designed properly, there is no need for application software level controls.

Pull out your mobo manual and solve your problem.
