There's a chance that it requires the OS to control them. Though some things seem to manage it with the hardware (e.g. a computer sitting at the BIOS boot screen might start up with the fans whizzing fast, but slow down once the temperature sensors are checked). On the computers that I have with speed controlled fans, they've "just worked" for me, without having to do anything. The next question would be is the computer blasting out hot air or cool air? Hot air indicates that something is doing hard work. Cool air indicates that the fans are needlessly revving. As the blunt person had said, please don't top post on this list.
