A software solution would have been awesome, but I never found one that I could get to work. pwmconfig (for fancontrol) is the other related utility in Ubuntu, but I never tested it.
I ended up buying a hardware fan controller. A hardware solution was more desirable anyway since I needed to control 4 fans. Any motherboard on the market is going to run out of PWM fan headers very quickly for us hashcat enthusiasts.
I highly recommend the NZXT Sentry 3 and Corsair Maglev fans.
That said, a software solution to this problem might still be achievable, but may be limited to only some motherboard vendors (an adequate amount of headers needs to be available).
