Pick CoreCtrl if…
CoreCtrl suits GNU/Linux users who want application-linked or manual hardware profiles, particularly those seeking AMD GPU controls. Its basic CPU controls may suit users who only need the listed governor control and package information.

Fan Control suits Windows users who want to configure CPU, GPU, or case-fan behavior with adjustable curves and profiles. It is a less certain fit for laptop owners, since support depends on a plugin for the specific model.
