Enabling Sensors on ASUS motherboards

[Eadwine Rose]

I don't use either in my conky.
Then again, I don't use the MX provided conkies but my own.

I ended up dumping the it87 module driver for my B450-I and when with the asuswmi driver which is better suited to it8665 in fact it is written for this chip.
I also have started using bumblebee-status instead of my conkybar. With Linux debian-10-testing 5.4.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux Nvidia 440.64

thanks KoO for following up on your progress, did you mention in this thread anywhere about the asuswmi driver... I have a B350 and B450

[KoO]

Link to the driver itself https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors

To download the driver you have two choices.
git clone https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors.git
OR download the zip file
asus-wmi-sensors-master.zip (make sure to extract the file first)

To install the asuswmi.
After changing to the downloaded directory

Code: Select all

sudo make dkms
sudo make modules
sudo make install
sudo modprobe asus-wmi-sensors

I also added this line asus-wmi-sensors to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf so it loaded at startup.

On the electrified git he has a list of suited motherboards and some more info too. Works just fine here.

P.S. If you were adding acpi_enforce_resources=lax to your grub line as below. Which was the case with it87 driver This is no longer needed with asus-wmi-sensors and can be removed. Remember to sudo update-grub if you remove the line.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_enforce_resources=lax" << You must add this to your grub line ( acpi_enforce_resources=lax ) then sudo update-grub No longer needed

I hope this helps people with Asus boards and the it8665 chip.

To install the asuswmi.

Code: Select all

sudo make dkms
sudo make modules
sudo make install
sudo modprobe asus-wmi-sensors

Link to the driver itself https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors To install the driver I did it the above way a little different then on the git page. Also so added this line asus-wmi-sensors to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf so it loaded at startup.

On the electrified git he has a list of suited motherboards and some more info too. Works just fine here.

Thanks! Really appreciate it, I'll double back on this soon, makes it easier when we have some smart folks helping and sharing.

[Eadwine Rose]

Thanks!! I will bookmark and test on a separate clean install sometime :)

Hi all. I get some errors when I try to add the asus-wmi-sensors. Any ideas what I could try? BTW, I also tried with the 4.19 kernel but got the same thing.

=================================
$ sudo make dkms

Looks like I never got around to that one.


Please post your Quick System Info, thanks :)

[alexjack]

Sure (but now with the 4.19 Kernel back):

I would start on this page https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B ... esk_BIOS/
This is the first bios for you board. American Megatrends v: 0312 date: 09/18/2018

Have you run (sudo sensors-detect) first ?

It also depends on what sensor chip your motherboard is using.
As you can see from the list below TUF boards may or may not be supported ?. From https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors
