My fans are running really loud on my 212 evo.
When I run 'sensors' it displays the voltage and temperature of my cpu but not the RPM of my fans.
According to a quick google this link says i need to edit my sensors3.conf and put fanX_div 4 in it somewhere.

Can anyone give me a hand?
What does the output of your sensors look like? It sounds like you need to find the name of your controller in the conf file and edit that section.
In the Arch example with it8718-isa-0290, I think you would need to open /etc/sensors3.conf, go to this section:
chip "it87-*" "it8712-*" "it8716-*" "it8718-*" "it8720-*"and add the fan div line below:
chip "it87-*" "it8712-*" "it8716-*" "it8718-*" "it8720-*"
set fan1_div 4Reload senors
sudo sensors -sSimply running 'sudo sensors-detect', might resolve the issue.
