Or bios, or whatever has, although non-Windows support is generally bad in hardware because it requires open sourcing drivers.

I am not familiar with any motherboard that does not expose all its capabilities through BIOS or UEFI. Yes, it might be less convenient to have to reboot to set a fan curve, but it’s certainly possible. And the Windows software is so terrible anyway, going through BIOS is always my first choice.
