first i had this, but this will give very jerky motion to the fans because they dont know wich signal to take

#[duplicate_pin_override]
#pins: PC8

#[controller_fan board_fans]
#pin: PC8
#kick_start_time: 0.500
#max_power: 1.0
#fan_speed: 0.6
#heater: heater_bed 

[temperature_fan board_fans]
pin: PC8
kick_start_time: 0.8
#shutdown_speed: 0
off_below: 0.1
max_power: 1.0
#fan_speed: 0.6
sensor_type: temperature_host
control: pid
min_temp: -40
max_temp: 85
#max_delta: 5.0
pid_kp: 1.0
pid_ki: 0.5
pid_kd: 2.0
min_speed: 0.1
max_speed: 0.6
target_temp: 38

i changed it now with a custom macro.
i have a voron so i have print_start and print_end macro’s, but should work also for other printers
i have added at print_start macro
SET_TEMPERATURE_FAN_TARGET TEMPERATURE_FAN=board_fans TARGET=20
this will ramp up the fans because my room never goes below 20

i didnt add anything to the print end macro, instead i added it to the idle_timout macro

[idle_timeout]
timeout: 1800
gcode:
    SET_TEMPERATURE_FAN_TARGET TEMPERATURE_FAN=board_fans TARGET=38
