RE: Self Fan Activation in HCPC

For monitoring temperature you can use Motherboard monitor. It's excellent and free. Supports most of the motherboards. New motherboards have a couple of temperature sensors already built in.

I use it for monitoring server in my node 0.

Yup, that's generally OK.

One thing you could do, is use a thermistor to control the voltage with
the temperature.  Probably easier to have the temperature displayed
somewhere (on your desk, or on the monitor), and an array of switches to
switch each fan on at 7v or 12v.  You could add 5v in there too if you
can find suitable switches.
