ASRock Z97 Extreme6

[squigish]

I've got this board, and I've successfully managed to get lm-sensors to recognize the fan control hardware on xubuntu 14.04. I don't remember the details of what I did, but I plan on duplicating it in Linux Mint, so maybe I'll write something up then.

looking forward to seeing that. wanted this, haven't found the time to dig into it, happy to let you show us how.

I finally (15 months later) got around to duplicating it in linux mint. In the mean time, lm-sensors has released a new version, and I just upgraded to kernel 3.16. I'm not sure which of those are necessary, but all I had to do to get it to work was compile and install lm-sensors from source, (the one in the repo might work too), and then ran modprobe nct6775 as root. Then sensors showed the monitoring chip with all the fan speeds and voltages and stuff. To get it to stick, I added the modprobe line to /etc/init.d/lm-sensors.

Still no luck on finding and installing a firmware upgrade for the SATA chips. Anybody else have any ideas, or something specific that worked? I've tried a couple of firmware files, but all of the installs failed.

I can confirm the sensors. I am on Mint 17 Qiana, kernel 3.16.0-31, with the lm-sensors from the repository (1:3.3.4-2ubuntu1). Using "modprobe nct6775" is all that was needed for the sensors to work (I confirm only coretemp works without the module loaded). I suspect that there are some problems or inaccurate readings, though, but I think it's probably not related to that board specifically:

Thanks for the findings.
