Each variable is calculated every `Refresh interval` seconds (Min. 1 s, Max. 60 s.), and the graph shows the last `Duration of the graph` period (Min. 30 s, Max. 60 min).
GPU graphs work for NVIDIA, discrete AMD and built-in AMD.
Fan monitoring uses CPU-labelled sensors and known laptop cooling drivers. It avoids guessing from unrelated unlabelled fans, and reports when an identifiable CPU fan is not detected.
