NBFC not working

Hello everyone, first of all, please forgive me if I opened this under the wrong topic.

When I first started with Ubuntu, I was using NBFC and it was working perfectly. I used it for a few months, but I wanted to switch to Arch. So I installed nbfc, nbfc-linux, and nbfc-linux-git via AUR and tried all of them. However, when I type sudo nbfc set -s 100, the fans don't spin up. The service shows it's running, but when I type this command, there's no change in the fan behavior. Please help, I don't want to leave Arch.

Re: NBFC not working

I'm using an Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54, and I found a small solution, but I still have no idea why it's not working stably.
I used to use Ubuntu, and it worked stably. Now, according to the solution I found 5 minutes ago, if I switch to Windows, open Nitro Sense, max out the fans, and restart (maybe I didn’t even need to max out the fans, just opening the app might be enough), when Arch boots up, the nbfc set -a and all other commands work.

Re: NBFC not working

Disable windows fast boot (it's NOT the firmware option) and hibernation, reboot windows & linux several times then try again .
