it87 kernel module for fan control on a range of motherboards

[trankillity]

Describe the package

I'd like to request the it87 kernel module because sensors and sensors-detect doesn't expose my fans on my motherboard (Gigabyte B550i). I need this functionality because I have a deshrouded GPU and use mobo fan headers for my GPU fans. I can use CoolerControl for that easily, however I need the sensors/control of those sensors via this module.

I was evaluating EndeavourOS and was able to install that from AUR by going down a rabbit hole.

Hi @trankillity I am looking for the same thing, I have A620I.

Did you manage to install it?

[trankillity]

No. The devs said it would need to be included as a module in the OS and requested that I put an issue up for it. No movement since then.

[austonpramodh]

I am not sure i understand 100%, devs asked you to create a new issue? or is it same issue.

I am not skilled with os stuff, but I could try a PR.

[trankillity]

They asked me to create this issue so that they could test whether including this module would cause any issues.

Gotcha, I see. Cool thx

It affects Asus Prime X470-PRO as well. There is a driver for Asus but it allows only readout of values through WMI.
