Fans not turning on even when the laptop is hot

I’ve run lm_sensors and it tells me no sensors are detected and that thermals are probably controlled by ACPI. I checked which acpi modules are available with
ls -l /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/acpi
and noticed that the thermal module isn’t present. I feel that might be the issue but can’t figure out how to rectify it.

Kernel Version: Linux manjaro 5.8.11-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT
Laptop: Lenovo thinkpad E14 gen 2
CPU: Ryzen 4500U

There is no additional module needed for your processor. It is built into the kernel.

You can see the temp by executing

sensors

It should show something with k10temp…
