My laptop on Arch Linux doesn't detect fasns in no way.

Two years ago I got a new fake Xiaomi laptop. Some time i used Windows, but switched it on Arch Linux. Now I use Arch as main system and Windows as second with dualboot (I got some reasons why I haven't removed it). And my problem is that the cooling system works poorly or not at all on Arch, while it works fine on Windows, but when I tried to configure the fans, I realized that the system doesn't recognize them. I've tried using lm-sensors, but the fans don't appear in the list. As I mentioned earlier, the laptop is a fake Xiaomi product, and when I try to use "dmidecode -s system-product-name," I get a "Default string" output. Can anyone tell me if they've encountered this issue, and if so, how can I fix the fans?

I Think XIaomi laptops do not have PWM-Controlled fans. this means they are contrrolled automatically depending on the temperature... you can't manuially control PWM-less fans...
