FWIW …

I have the HighPi Pro 5V Cooling Fan installed in a HighPi case that is acting as a media server  
Initially installed with

> echo ‘dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=14,temp=60000’ \>\> /boot/config.txt

Rebooted & then

> apt install lm-sensors fancontrol  
> pwmconfig  
> systemctl enable --now fancontrol

Gives me a nice cool Raspberry Pi 4B that doesn’t seem to get over 50° even when stress testing
