English Hardware
#1

today with my little effort and big effort from GROEK (team member of lm-sensors devs) there is a new it87 driver with the ability to acquire fans speed , voltages, temperatures from it8606E chipset of the asus z97-p

see https://github.com/groeck/it87/issues/14#event-1275088792

you can dowload it from https://github.com/groeck/it87 and compile it.

but how to start this driver at boot ?

opensuse 42.2 sensors-detect obviously does not know this new feature.

what file of lm-sensors configuration to modify ?

thanks

i found it.

in /etc/sysconfig/lm-sensors file

change the statement
HWMON_MODULES=“coretemp”
to
HWMON_MODULES=“coretemp it87”
