Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to monitor my fan speed. While can do that using cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan, a graphical view with a history would be nice.
Describe the solution you'd like
Resources could display the fan(s) like it displays the CPU, memory or the batteries.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi, thanks for the issue. I don't think displaying fan speeds is in scope for Resources, I'm afraid. I doubt that many people regularly check their fan speeds and if you have a case with lots of fans, they'll probably clutter up the sidebar.
Maybe it would be possible to show the fan as a sensor, just like the temperature. This would not clutter the sidebar and keep the device ⇿ fan relation.
I agree with @Jak2k when I check temp I also like to check fan speed to see if my temps are because of low fan speed inertia or my fan are already at 100% and can't do more.
I'm currently using your software mostly but for fan speed I tend to launch mission center to get the missing information

Same. That's the only edge Mission Center still has on Resources for me. I'd love to have fan speeds on Resources, too.

Hmm. But that'd only work if you can match a specific temp sensor to a certain fan, right? Like CPU temp and CPU fan. What about case fans or laptops fans?
