The link previously given by @Yochanan would seem to outline fan control options available to Arch Linux and derivatives (such as Manjaro).
mbpfan is the only alternative I’m personally aware of;
Software solutions are likely the extent of what might be suggested by Manjaro users in a Support context; plus, as previously mentioned, it is unlikely (though, I suppose not impossible) that a member would be using Manjaro on Mac hardware (of that vintage) which places them at an obvious disadvantage.
As an example I use an iMac20,0 and am unable to contribute possible solutions beyond those that are readily available.
With all of the above in mind, and given that you already seem to have two confirmed (hardware) solutions, this is not a Support issue likely to be solved by Manjaro users.
If you wish to continue this pursuit, regardless, it may prove a fruitless endeavour. However, in case it prompts others to think-outside-of-the-box, please provide your system information as described (below).
Regards.
What follows is from a standard template.
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.
Note: By virtue of using the Manjaro forum you acknowledge and agree to follow Rules and Guidelines outlined; so, you really should read them:

Work with us, not against us
Be prepared to provide output from commands when asked. It is equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
Simply waiting for others to ask you questions can be counter-productive – typically, nobody has a
at their disposal – instead, please help others to make informed suggestions based on information you provide.
System Information
While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; ![]()
Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:
a) inxi command (long-form):
inxi --filter --verbosity=8
b) inxi command (short-form):
inxi -zv8
- inxi man pages (Arch Manual)
Running inxi within a chroot environment ![]()
- Add
