I've got an ASRock Z170 OC Formula and I'm trying to get more granular control of my chassis fans. I understand the Formula Drive utility can help with that, but I'm running Ubuntu. I know ASRock doesn't officially support linux, but does anyone know of a way to adjust fan speeds from linux? Are there any other utilities that might do it?

Here's my reasoning, I've got 4 nVidia GTX 980s that are the primary source of heat. The UEFI options for fan control only give me the ability to control the fans based on motherboard & CPU temps. Ultimately I want to be able to script control of the fans based on the temperature of the GPUs.
