## What it is
NoteBook FanControl (NBFC) is a cross-platform fan control service for laptops, written in C# and running on Windows and Linux via .NET/Mono. It provides a configurable system that maps fan speed behavior to temperature sensors for many different notebook models.

## Use cases
- control laptop fan speed on linux
- stop my notebook fan running constantly
- set custom fan curves for my laptop
- quiet down a noisy notebook fan
- monitor cpu temperature and adjust fans
- fan control service for windows laptops

## When to choose
- your laptop fans are too loud or always on and you want model-specific control
- you need a scriptable fan control service on Windows or Linux
- your notebook model already has a community NBFC config available

## When to avoid
- you need fan control on a desktop motherboard or non-x86 hardware
- your laptop model has no existing NBFC config and you cannot write embedded controller register configs yourself
- you want a polished GUI-only tool with no configuration effort
