Steam Deck Tools is a community-driven collection of utilities designed to enhance the experience of running Windows on the Valve Steam Deck. Hosted on GitHub and written primarily in C#, this suite bundles multiple practical tools into a single package, including fan control, performance overlay, power (TDP and refresh rate) adjustment, and Steam Controller support.

...The project supports a range of control backends and integrations, including motherboard fan headers and several popular cooling ecosystems, and it can also pull sensor data from common monitoring tools so your fan logic can react to the readings you trust. A core concept is “auto fan control” profiles where you pick a target temperature sensor, select which fans should follow it, and then shape the curve via a graph-like interface. It also includes quality-of-life options like renaming items, choosing units (including Fahrenheit), and starting minimized for a set-it-and-forget-it setup.

...If you want to build NBFC from source, the first thing you have to do is to download the source code. You can easily clone the NBFC repository via git. Make sure the Mono runtime + development tools are installed on your machine (Debian based distros: mono-complete, Arch based distros: mono). Config files are an integral part of NBFC, because they define how NBFC interacts with your notebook's embedded controller (EC). The EC monitors your system's temperatures and controls the fan(s). It sits on the motherboard or is integrated into a Super I/O chip & is connected to the Southbridge via the Low Pin Count (LPC) bus.
