How to control fan?

I have Hewlett-Packard 183E (U3E1) motherboard in my HP Pavillion G6 2230TX laptop. I have 4 pinned fan (I have seen in forums, saying this as the indication of PWM controlling ability?). My BIOS has this option for fan: Fan Always On <Enabled> I can only disable it. I am now running Zorin 12.

I have tried the steps given in the answer of the question How to control fan speed?. I am stuck, as others in the comments of that linked question with this message,
Code:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed


That question has found solution for dell laptops, I have hp. What can I do to control my fan?

Could be an issue that you have a pwm chipset but no sensors?:
