This is what I am using, but I am not taking any responsibility of
damage caused on your laptop. :) Also you can play with the temps to get
the fan speeds to you satisfaction...

Title:
Dell Inspiron 7559 fans do not shut off once started, even when cool
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop there appears to
be an issue with the fan control. When I first boot up the machine the
fans are off. However, after the laptop warms up under normal usage,
the fans kick on and then never shut off again. Even when the CPU
cools down to below 35c, the fans will continue to run.
If I suspend the the laptop, and then immediately wake it up again
then fans are once again off, until it warms up again. So
essentially, once the fans start they don't seem to ever shut off.
Fans seem to work normally under Windows 10. They turn on as needed,
and then turn off once the laptop cools down.
I've tried the various BIOS updates that Dell has released, without
success. I am currently running Dell's latest BIOS for this laptop
(v1.1.8)
Below is the output of lm-sensors showing the fans running when the
CPU is at a cool 35c
