Does any of you have success with their motherboard fan-rmp data on Linux? It is not a huge problem but the software on Linux (I use lm-sensors) can not read the fan-RPM data from my motherboard (Gigabyte). This lacking feature makes it more difficult to tune the fans to be as silent as possible while the temperatures remain sufficiently low. Obviously the motherboard itself can read the data but it can't pass it to the software on Linux (lm-sensors in my case) because the chip-manufacturer hides relevant data. I happen to know that there is one good company which makes those sensors which get used on some of the X86-motherboards, they have extensive manuals online on which you can read exactly how those sensors work, they make it easy for driver-developers to make a driver for those sensors. I actually downloaded one of those manuals and I read some of it, it is very detailed. Unfortunately the X86-motherboard companies hide which sensors they use so we can't find out unless somebody in the Linux-community bought this motherboard and posts his experience.
@@mtcos6279 I read that even on the same model motherboard with different revisions they can use the other chip. It As I said, it is not a huge problem but it is a bit of a bummer that this doesn't work due to the motherboard companies using the wrong (closed-source and no documentation) chip-vendor.
as always a good show
Thanks for listening
