Nvidia GTA 970 driver version 396.54

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuFanControlState=0 -a [fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=50
you might need Coolbits first into xorg, something like:
xpander@arch ~ $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce GTX 1080 Ti"
Option "Coolbits" "28"
Option "metamodes" "DP-4: 2560x1440_144 +0+0, DP-1: null, DP-2: 2560x1440_60 +2560+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
EndSection

I'll try Xpanders solution later today

after a bit of digging around I found that;
sudo nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=4
followed by a reboot gave me manual fan speed control in nvidia-settings \o/
Also it turns out that Linux Mint 19 stores the nvidia settings directly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

uhh, directly at /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not really great, because when you change your GPU from nvidia to AMD for example or change monitors when xorg.conf is filled with your current monitor setup info, then things can go south.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Using_xorg.conf - Archwiki link but applying to every modern distro afaik. Fedora wiki also has this.
Using .conf files
The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory stores host-specific configuration. You are free to add configuration files there, but they must have a .conf suffix: the files are read in ASCII order, and by convention their names start with XX- (two digits and a hyphen, so that for example 10 is read before 20). These files are parsed by the X server upon startup and are treated like part of the traditional xorg.conf configuration file. Note that on conflicting configuration, the file read last will be processed. For that reason the most generic configuration files should be ordered first by name. The configuration entries in the xorg.conf file are processed at the end.
For option examples to set, see also the fedora wiki.
Well at least you got it working now

You can check / monitor with nvidia-smi rather then going into nvidia-settings.
