If HPET is not an option in firmware, then it is disabled (0x00) and hidden from you. Which in practice is bad. The only option for users in this case is to download your firmware from the vendor, use this tool to locate the register and set the value with this tool to enabled (0x01).

1 project | /r/Windows11 | 7 Dec 2023

I think you're looking for FanControl https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases There is a bit of initial setup but nothing crazy, and it guides you through with a nice and clean UI. Once you're in, you can set your fan curve and all the smaller details if you want, like how long will the fans take to spin up or spin down, or how long to delay a speed change after hitting a certain temperature threshold so that its not constantly revving up and down

MSI Afterburner should work for gpu fans. Motherboards typically have their own version of software for fan control, so you could use that (dl from mfg website), or there's this one that I know of that should work for any mobo (although there's probably others): https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases
