X99 Deluxe and linux sensors: no worky

BusError · 23 Apr 2015 at 08:39

On previous Asus boards (like my P8Z68*) all the fans, temp sensors and voltages were available using lm-sensors in linux, however, the new X99 board doesn't work; there seems to be some sort of ACPI conflict and the sensors and stuff are not exposed by ACPI itself..

So no monitoring or tweaking, hover, the fans driven by the BIOS seems to be all working properly, but no temp or voltage monitoring which is a little annoying!

I assume you've run sensors-detect as root?

most newer boards suffer from this, my z97 does too, In your boot config line (grub)

acpi_enforce_resources=lax

That will allow sensord to load/use the driver.

Thanks pete910, my googling had had me find that same fix, it works now; even if some of the thermistors read silly values; I suspect it's the thermistors that are suposed to be on the 'extra' mini card Asus ships with the X99 Deluxe...

Glad its sorted, Trouble with sensors is you need to tailor the config file to suite your board.

See here http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations

There ain't any for newer boards though

Shot in the dark Busserror, Does your board use the Nuvoton nct6791 by ant chance ?

If so I have a sensors.conf file that i've modded for use with it

Shows like this on my z97 sabertooth.
