before you consider controlling cpu / gpu fans, there are 2
things you might wish to consider;

  1- _if_ fan speed is variable, it is usually done so by temp
     sensors that monitor temps and adjust fan speed.

  2- if fans are running 100%, they may not be variable.

why is it you feel a need to change what is, or maybe already
being done for you?

/(-:
do you believe you are more temp aware than circuits that are
designed to monitor temp and adjust fan speed?
