Linux 6.3 Supports Sensor Monitoring For Many ASUS B650/B660/X670 Motherboards

The hardware monitoring support among consumer desktop motherboards continues to improve with Linux 6.3 adding sensor support for many ASUS B650/B660/X670 AMD Ryzen motherboards.

The hardware monitoring "HWMON" subsystem updates were sent in earlier this week and exciting me the most with the updates are the improvements to the nct6775 to allow directly calling the ASUS ACPI WMI method and in turn enabling sensor support for many newer ASUS motherboards. Linux 6.3 resolves a resource conflict with the WMI method for many of the ASUS motherboards sporting an NCT6799D controller. The motherboards with Linux 6.3 that benefit from this for sensor monitoring include the:

In addition to those many ASUS AMD Ryzen motherboards now with sensor hardware monitoring support via the nct6775 HWMON driver, Linux 6.3 also now supports more Aquacomputer devices.

Also on the motherboard front is support for the IT87952E super I/O controller found in some newer desktop motherboards like the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Master.

There is also more devices supported by the OneXPlayer driver (AYANEO AIR and AIR Pro) and another NZXT RGB & Fan Controller added to the nzxt-smart2 driver.
