I installed thinkfan too, no change. I tried $ systemctl status thinkfan.service
and got: ● thinkfan.service - simple and lightweight fan control program Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/thinkfan.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) so I restarted the service then checked the status and got: ● thinkfan.service - simple and lightweight fan control program Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/thinkfan.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2020-04-03 20:37:52 NZDT; 3s ago Process: 6662 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/thinkfan $DAEMON_ARGS (code=exited, status=4) Apr 03 20:37:52 darwin systemd[1]: thinkfan.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=4 Apr 03 20:37:52 darwin thinkfan[6662]: WARNING: Using default temperature inputs in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal.
