As Polina says, the infrastructure should be there. If your fans
have three leads on their cable, one of them is PWM control for
fan speed.

The CPU itself has one (actually several) temperature sensors built
in, and the CPU/chipset is capable of generating the needed PWM
signals. Some software needed.
