I have set the fan speed quite low on a nuc, with a very slow increase. To avoid overheating a program runs to lower the frequency when required, and also temporarily disabling the turbo setting when needed. All in all this solves the problem for an Artix desktop system. (I feel double sorry for all Windows users using NUC's...)

how did you do that? It that a bios setting?

The fan settings are indeed done in the bios: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000096279/intel-nuc.html#primary-content

I also increased the fan-off temps to reduce the rpms.

My goal is to stay silent in simple things like browsing, office tasks, etc., and to be safe in tasks where I set CPU power to performance. I have to uninstall the LM sensors?

To reduce the fan speed and noise you can adjust the bios setting as posted before.
Make sure to also run a program that reduces the CPU frequency when it gets hot. You might check out power-profiles-daemon and thermald. Make sure to keep an eye on the actual temperature. Any feature that controls the fan is most probably not going to work on your nuc.
