fan control OS 10.4 Tiger imac 2007

I have replaced the drive in a 2007 iMac ,without a thermostat so the fan runs

at full speed

The operating system is Tiger and cannot be changed

None of my fan control software works on this elderly OS

Is there a product out there? or can I control through terminal??

macbook fan running constantly I am still using my macbook pro mid 2015. It was a powerhouse for the longest time but with nearly 6 years of daily use for heavy power tasks as an arch student it now runs a fraction of the speed it once did. I can only have about one task open at the time before the fan turns on full blast. While this is fine in a desk setting and still allows me some basic use (adobe, lr etc) it's not ideal for using it mores discreetly. I am hoping to upgrade to a new mcbp when the new version comes out in a couple months. Is there a way I can reduce the fan or increase the speeds. I currently have a windows partition that I no longer use anymore so I considered removing that but I'm not sure its worth the hassle of all that for me to get a new computer in a little bit anyways.

I know you mentioned about software. Have you tried smcFanControl? I used this for years before upgrading to newer MacBook pros and mac mini from an old 27" iMac
