Better PC Cooling with Python and Grafana
You don't really need PID, just a decent fan curve with https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

This app relatively the same feature, but is not open source and run only on Windows

After 2 weeks of trying to fix my connectors, buying new fans, and going through mountains of support in an attempt to stop my cooling from sounding like an engine, I came to learn that I had to press the "apply" button.
An all-in-one solution for controlling fans called... Fan Control: https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases
As an aside, Jayztwocents once featured this neat fan control software you might be interested in. Interested to know what pcmr reddit's opinion of this software is, too

Just bought a pc, fan is a little loud when running spiderman. What is the best and quietest fan you can think of(not planning on switching to liquid)
However all of these will be relatively loud if run at full speed. Which might be the real issue here. You should check your motherboard's bios to see if there are any options for fan speed controls, and set your case fans to 50%. Or you can use FanControl to adjust this within Windows. This assumes your case fans are PWM fans, and that the motherboard is setup to recognize them as PWM fans. If the case fans are DC fans (they use a 3 pin connector) or the motherboard only has DC fan headers (also 3 pin) for some reason, then you won't easily be able to control their speed from the motherboard. However you can buy inline resistor cables to slow down DC fans to make them quieter as an alternative.
However, you might be able to fix the problem without replacing the fans. You can try looking in the motherboard's BIOS for fan control options and reduce the speed of the case fans. Or use FanControl to do it from within Windows. This assumes the fans used in the case are PWM and not DC fans, and are plugged into the correct header on the motherboard, and in some cases the fans aren't incorrectly set to be DC fans in the BIOS.

Apparently fan control has unpatchable vulnerably kernel driver
u/xamphear as for Github, well no it's not open source, I'm basically just lazy and initially hosted there so I could refer stuff easily in other repo, namely https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor, and have a built-in issue manager so users could easily report stuff and interact with me. Back then I had no where near as many users as I have now. It just so happen Jayz video came up and the repo blew up. Haven't seen any specific rule preventing me from using Github like this, and it worked surprisingly well so far for the intended use case, even at the current scale. Recently made a website to transition the "main page" there https://getfancontrol.com/. Traffic is slowly transitioning to it, so the github page will likely stay up for a while.

The minimum viable fan control script
How silent are you talking? Silent under load is hard, but quiet under load and silent on idle is possible without a passively cooled build. A good cooler for the processor + slow running case fans + a silent psu (like BitFenix Formula, Corsair RM, ...) + a noise isolating case against coil whine would be the be the foundation for that. I use an old Corsair H90 to cool my i5-5675C, AIO is on the front, my case has one good case fan at the back. Note that the H90 is only quiet when pump speed gets also reduced. With that setup, the noise under load is completely defined by the gpu (a soon to be exchanged RX 570) and the noise of the system on idle vanishes with the ambient noise.
However, the setup I describe above was loud until I got around to control the fan speeds properly. Turned out the MSI BIOS fanspeed control did not work properly. On top of high minimal speed settings (like 50% for the case fan) it ignored my settings and ran the fans higher than I wanted. That made the system rather load on idle. The solution was to control fanspeed with fan2go: https://github.com/markusressel/fan2go (plus radeon-profile controls the speed of the gpu, making it silent on idle as well.)
Fan2go is not only nice to use, it also solves the issue the article's author will run into in the future: Those hwmon paths are not stable anymore. It's possible they will work on his hardware if there is only one (or none, as in the thinkpad example using a different system), but otherwise the script will stop working with new kernels after reboots.

CPU fan spinning at max speed, cannot control it.
If you want to try a different solution I suggest to give fan2go a try.
