I've installed lm-sensors, but when I run pwmconfig command as root, it throws an error:

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

My laptop is an MSI Gs63VR Stealth Pro core Intel i7 CPU

Thank you!

A simple search for the error message yielded several hits on Google. All of the top hits are from before this question was posted.

This guide on AskUbuntu may be helpful, or this one.

Likely the issue you're having can be solved with a linux kernel option. Add this to your Grub command-line: acpi_enforce_resources=lax

sudo sed -E -i 's/(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=.+)"$/\1 acpi_enforce_resources=lax"/' /etc/default/grub sudo update-grub

then reboot.

yes, this is a proposal for a fix of the problem, but as it is stated in a lot of places with the same question - it do not solve the problem everywhere, I can confirm that this line into grub and update-grub give me the same results as stated into the question above.
Yes, I have followed a lot of guides, most of them leading to a moment when you enable a few modules using sensor-detect, but luckily sensor detect enables only one module coretemp. So because of this I keep receiving the same error, also sensors returns only temperatures, not voltage and fanspeeds. elementaryOS Hera, based on Ubuntu 18.04, hp Pavilion power pc, same result I have on Ubuntu 18.04...
Running sensors-detect I have one line Trying family National Semiconductor/ITE... Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x8987` and Googling a lot I did not found an option to load the correct module.
Yes, I'm running it with sudo, now I have just tried with sudo su first also and the resuts are the same. But I have two fans, compared to the results on the link above, but you are right - probably it will be better to ask a new question here
No worries, thank you for putting your attention to my problem, but I lost hope. I have read probably more than 20 different forum posts on russian, polish, german websites, all with the same results like mine about ITE IT8987D and there is no any usefull information about drivers, no success confirmed. I have tried with modprobe all ntlXXXX drivers I have into my system, also stuff like modprobe it87 force_id=0x8987 with no positive result. Thanks again, happy hollidays, if I change my mind, I will link my question here.

On my MSI GF76 Katana 11SC-483X there are no pwm-capable sensors detected in linux. This tool helped me to control fans: https://github.com/dmitry-s93/MControlCenter#installation-from-the-archive

Added this tool to Startup Applications on my Ubuntu 22.04 (used custom curve) - it works like a charm! It works much better than MSI Control Center on windows. May be I'm doing something wrong but my manual tests for windows MSI Control Center have bad results (custom curve) - fans sometimes speed up, sometimes not.
