Bay Fan Controller using internal CPU/GPU temperatures?

My Nesteq MaxZero fan controller I bought 2 1/2 years ago is still working, but the display has dimmed down to almost nothing.

I'm having trouble staying stable with some games and want finer control over when the fans speed up and slow down (there are 10 in my case across 2 radiators!)

The ASUS Fan Xpert does a pretty good job but I can only control 4 from this.

Is there any Bay-mounted Fan controller that's able to adjust fan speeds based on readings from devices themselves (GPU and CPU specifically) ?

I dont really want to use one with external temperature probes as a) it's more wires and b) they never manage to measure the temperatures 100% accurately. To be fair the GPU ones were only a couple of degrees off but the CPU one obviously was almost always miles off.

The Aquacomputer Aquareo 6 (probably 5 too) can use hwinfo as a plugin of sorts and display all temps hwinfo report (which is pretty much all of them). I am not sure you can actually control fan curves using these "virtual sensors" as they are called by the aquaero software, but it is definitely worth looking into.

Edit: its not the unit itself that see the virtual sensors, but the aquaero software, that why i am not sure if they can be used as temp curve controllers.
