Arch nvidia-settings cannot set gpu fan speed

Hello, I am using a laptop. Recently, the temperature of the gpu is very high. I want to adjust the fan speed, but I have no way to set the fan speed.
This is archlinux, not some other system
The following is my setting record:

 $ nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100"

  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (localhost:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 1.


ERROR: Error resolving target specification 'fan:0' (No targets match target specification),
       specified in assignment '[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100'.

$ nvidia-settings -q all | grep Fan                                                   
  Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (localhost:0[gpu:0]): 1.
    'GPUFanControlState' is a boolean attribute; valid values are: 1 (on/true) and 0 (off/false).
    'GPUFanControlState' can use the following target types: GPU.

CPU: Intel i7-10875H (16) @ 5.100GHz
GPU: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile
