ASUS K43SV laptop it very hot.

Is it possible to control fan speed with fancontrol?

When I run $sudo pwmconfig it displays this message:

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no fan-capable sensor modules installed

When I run $sensors, here is the output

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +61.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +62.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

Core 1:         +61.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
