After its Linux 5.18 premiere, Linux 5.19 added more motherboards to ASUS-EC-Sensors and ahead of the Linux 5.20 merge window several more ASUS motherboards are now supported by this driver.
As of this past week, the hardware monitoring subsystem's " hwmon-next " branch has added support to the ASUS-EC-Sensors driver for the STRIX Z690-A D4, MAXIMUS XI HERO, ROG ZENITH II EXTREME, and adding missing sensors to the already supported X570-I GAMING.
For Linux 5.20 the list of supported ASUS motherboards by this hwmon sensors driver is up to:
- PRIME X470-PRO
- PRIME X570-PRO
- Pro WS X570-ACE
- ProArt X570-CREATOR WIFI
- ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO
- ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-FI)
- ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA
- ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO
- ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT
- ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO
- ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI)
- ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING
- ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
- ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING
- ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II
- ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING
- ROG STRIX X570-I GAMING
- ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4
- ROG ZENITH II EXTREME
The ASUS-EC-Sensors driver allows reading the motherboard/chipset/CPU/VRM temperatures, fan speeds, any water cooling flow / temperature readings, CPU current, and CPU core voltage on capable motherboards. As with most of the Linux sensor drivers for consumer products, this "asus_ec_sensors" driver isn't maintained by ASUS engineers but rather the open-source community and extending this list of supported motherboards is largely left up to individual end-users for testing compatibility with different motherboards.
