Could you build this?

Partial The dashboard and info display are easy, but reading accurate sensor data (temperatures, voltages, fan speeds) requires low-level, hardware-specific access that vibe coding alone won't produce reliably.

What it would actually take: The app would combine a Windows UI with a sensor backend built on WMI, vendor SDKs, or a signed kernel driver such as those used by LibreHardwareMonitor. Getting broad hardware coverage takes driver and hardware-register expertise and ongoing maintenance per chipset and motherboard.
