Hello
I am looking to buy this mainboard. Looks nice, FM2+ socket (Kaveri support, besides A8-7600 confirmed), A88X chipset, lots of USB / pinheaders, tons of SATA, a serial header aaaaand 3 real PCI slots (awesome for me since I still have and use a lot of PCI cards). PCIe also there for dedicated GPU and whatsnot. Everything else was Realtek so I did not expect problems... well... besides...
I asked ASUS support about the Super-I/O chip and was told it would feature the
Fintek F71811 (U)
I didn't find info about that chip + Linux support. Didn't find it in the Kernel config or lm_sensors so I am scared it will not be supported. That would be nasty since these SuperIOs are actually important - also e.g. for working with flashrom and coreboot.
So does anybody have a similar mainboard (Asus A88X-Pro for example) or experiences with this Fintek chip?
