This open-source application not only has a very modern looking and configurable interface, it also has some powerful ways to control the cooling too. It can combine different device sensors (mixed profiles) to set cooling using multiple fans. Profiles for each device can be BIOS, fixed, graph curve, mix, or overlays.
Thresholds can also be adjusted to eliminate false positive alerts or to smooth the response of the fans.
The application can also run in headless mode on remote Linux systems, and there is a REST API that can be used to integrate remote monitoring systems.
My video gives an overview of how I am using it, and what I am finding very useful. It should help you decide whether the application will be of use to you or not.
