According to that wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control

If your output does not display an RPM value for your CPU fan, and you
are positive it is running, you need to increase the fan divisor. If your
fan speed is shown and higher than 0, skip the next step.

I would also look at lm-sensors documentation:
