Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to see a GUI implementation of motherboard sensor monitoring. E. g. chassis and CPU fan speeds, southbridge and VRM temps, vendor and motherboard model name. Do note that sometimes there are fields which are left as "To Be Filled By O.E.M." so fallbacks need to be implemented. Like in my case ASRock B550M Phantom Gaming 4 has the vendor name "ASRock" display as "To Be Filled By O.E.M." in some places like journald but it appears to be fine when viewing System -> About tab in GNOME Settings.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid that I probably won't implement motherboard sensor monitoring because I fear it'd bloat up the GUI with information I doubt many people care about (or can even understand).
Why? There's a lot of windows software with motherboard info but almost nothing like that on linux. HWMonitor, HWInfo, AIDA64, all have motherboard info and I'm pretty sure most of them implement live sensor monitoring too.
There is hardinfo2, I think this should be similar to HWinfo. :) For Resources, I prefer it to be software akin to Task Manager, GNOME System Monitor and so on.
