Could you build this?

Partial The UI for fan curves and power modes is easy, but controlling fans and charge limits requires vendor-specific embedded controller or WMI interfaces that vary by laptop model and need low-level Windows expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a Windows service or tray app with a small privileged driver or WMI/ACPI bridge, plus a configuration UI and safety fallbacks. The hard part is reverse-engineering or documenting EC registers and firmware methods for each supported model, then making fan control safe so hardware does not overheat. That needs low-level systems and hardware expertise, device testing, and possibly driver signing.
