Gigabyte Aorus - Linux fan control.md

PWM fan control in Linux with a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard

• install lm-sensors with your package manager

sensors

If it won't show any fan/speed, continue

sensor-detect

Say YES to at least "Super I/O sensors"

Expected output:

Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688

If similar, continue

git clone https://github.com/frankcrawford/it87

cd it87
sudo make clean
sudo make install
sudo modprobe it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8622

sensors

The fans should show up now, if yes, continue to make them available at boot:

echo options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8622 > /etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
echo it87 >> /etc/modules

On my Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 I only get the fan sensors but no control over them.

B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 - fans show up in sensors and CoolerControl, but I have no control over them. ignore_resource_conflict does nothing, I had to add acpi_enforce_resources=lax to GRUB.
