Hi

Recently my Lenovo y530 cpu fan stopped working, the gpu fan is still working though

I replaced thermal paste and tried to take the fan apart to try and see the issue but I couldn't

until I find a replacement fan, can I set a thermal limit to my cpu through software because the BIOS is pretty limited.

Typically thermal limits are set through BIOS. I don't believe there is a software solution for that.

IMO don't run the computer until you get a replacement fan.
