Could you build this?

Partial The alarm and dashboard UI is easy to vibe-code, but reading hardware sensors on Windows depends on low-level drivers and vendor-specific chip support that is difficult to get right.

What it would actually take: A real version would likely be a Windows app in C# or C++ that reads sensors through WMI, a kernel driver, or an open library such as LibreHardwareMonitor, and then adds alarms and charts on top. The hard part is supporting many motherboard, GPU, and sensor chipsets reliably, which requires low-level hardware and driver expertise plus broad test hardware.
