I think it says to gets sensors(1) working first. Although I'm not sure
the instructions on the page it links to are up to date.

Part of gettings sensors(1) working is to load kernel modules. Perhaps
it would help.
Have you tried
sudo sensors-detect
That may come up with some modules that it suggests from /etc/modules at
the end. Try loading each of them in turn. So if it say `foo' and
`bar' do
sudo modprobe foo
sudo modprobe bar
If there's no errors, see if the output of `sensors' has now improved
compared to before the sensors-detect. Then try pwmconfig again.

I found snipping off the metal grill covering my case fan lessened some
of the noise. The one that stops fingers getting to it.
Cheers,
Ralph.
