I have a probe point on my motherboard titled EC_Probe that, in bios at least, I can get a live read of what a temp probe says. I’m about to do some experiments where I need a temp probe and I can’t seem to read the probe from in windows. I don’t have linux rly set up yet, I almost don’t want to bother bc its a bit of a pain compared to a centrino laptop XDDD
If anyone knows of a utility I could use in windows to read the probe, maybe pipe the data into OBS for a stream, that’d be dank. TY.
If the temp probe point is exported in the BIOS via the SIO chipset, any of the standard Windows monitoring softwares should provide the sensor data.
In Linux you have the standard SIO chipset modules and standard lm-sensors module and could get lucky with that sensor output. Probably not though as those are very limited with what they can read.
Too bad your mobo is an Aorus. If you had one of the supported ASUS mobos, you could use the wonderful asus-wmi-sensors module that reads all the sensors with the same capabilities as the Windows HWinfo. I use this module on my ASUS Crosshair VII Hero mobos. asus-wmi-sensors kernel module
I have a temperature probe like this one, 10KΩ is the standard probe that works with motherboards.
And this is what HWiNFO64 reports:
You should be able to see something along those lines. If you’re not reading data the probe might be of the wrong type for the application.
You could also try to use Asrock proprietary software to read the data from it, if it’s available somewhere. I have AI Suite from Asus and it works.
P.S. make sure the polarity is correct aswell, else it won’t work. Also if you’re trying to make sure you can read the value before connecting a probe it’s not gonna work. It’s going to work only once you connect a probe to the header.
I think that ASUS just copied the Pin1 designation from all the other ports in the manual.
Every G 1/4 temp sensor I have purchased is non-polarized with a standard unmarked connector and black wire with no other identifiers. Are thermistors directional?
