Are you guys able to build this on the 5.10.x kernels? For me dkms fails when installing the new kernel and trying to make the module spits out errors. 5.9.x kernels work fine (using 5.9.16 right now).
Any idea how i can get a config like this done for my motherboard?
when i run sensors-detect i get the following.
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688
im trying to get unraid to detect this chip so i can control my PWM fans without always going into the BIOS.
Anyone has this working with latest BIOS? I get a ‘no such device’ error when probing or inserting the module, regardless of options (ignore_resource_conflict=1 or force_id=0x8628). Seems BIOS version F31q yields this driver incompatible. Older reports with F11 seem to work fine.
I am running a Gigabyte Aorus Elite, and while the K10temp driver works, obviously I get no other information regarding the motherboard and fan status.
Did you try adding “acpi_enforce_resources=lax” to your /etc/default/grub file?
I’m sure I did at one point (but then again, now I am not sure which source tree I used when I booted with that parameter), so might be worth a try to reboot with that and see if the module indeed loads before setting things to default. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit
That almost got the module loaded, if it wasn’t for a nasty ‘Unknown symbol in module’ error. When trying to load without install, and when installed, I get the above.
Works great on Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master with a 3900x, bios F31b. Arch with kernel 5.10.11, and setting the modprobe flag options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 (don’t think this is actually necessary for my motherboard).modinfo it87 reports:

And all my fan control is working properly now.
Building it was a problem, make install was alright, I think that’s what updated my current module, but sudo make dkms is complaining:

sensors-detect still warns about an unknown chip, but having the patched it87 loaded finds all of the motherboard sensors:

For me it fails on 5.10.11 kernel. DKMS complains. 5.10.10 works fine.
I love you all for working on this. Many kudos.

DKMS seems to be broken from what I’m hearing of Kernel 5.10 so far.
5.10.13 seems to work fine.
Hi all,
I just merged the IT8528E and IT8688E changes.
The package installs fine on debian testing with the 5.11.0-10.3-liquorix-amd64 kernel.
Check out the release at: Release Rebase update · hannesha/it87 · GitHub

Great work.
Thanks @tonyfinn and @FurryJackman for these posts. I have an Gigabyte x570 UD and these both work great for my mobo.
Also, thanks for the note on make install vs make dkms. That cleared some things up for me. I can’t get make dkms work with the it87 driver, but I created some scripts to post the config files for me each time I need sensors to run properly.
JohnH , the next time there’s a kernel update, I’ll try your package.
There is a new driver being included with the 5.13 kernel that may help with our sensor woes on these boards:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Gigabyte-WMI-For-Linux-5.13
This driver exposes the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) temperature sensors under Linux. When writing originally about this new driver it was only tested on a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard but since then has been tested and confirmed to also be working on the likes of the Gigabyte’s B550M DS3H, B550 Gaming X V2, and Z390 I Aorus Pro WiFi motherboards as well.
Not that I don’t like the current solution with the patched IT87 driver in my particular case, but this may seem like the way forward unless they decide to upstream the modified IT87 module (fat chance that will ever happen).
Hopefully the ASUS version of the same thing gets upstreamed. Unfortunately WMI polling as of right now can’t re-poll correctly in ksysguard, but can with watch -n 1 sensors.
This is a pretty good solution that works around the resource conflict thing.
Another great thing is that the driver is very small compared to the it87 driver.
Hopefully Gigabyte doesn’t hide that many sensor values with this approach, or break the interface in the future.
Still hoping for coreboot support on AM4 boards, so we can finally skip the dependency on vendor interfaces.
Any update with the new Gigabyte Motherboard WMI Temperature Driver in the new 5.13 kernel?
Should i disable the IT87 driver on my X570 AORUS ELITE and use the new one built into the kernel?
Totally forgot about that driver. I’m on 5.13.1 now, so I guess I will test it and see.
Edit: Did a quick test on my X370 board. No dice. Completely removed the it87 driver I had and even forced the new module with gigabyte_wmi.force_load=1. It simply finds no sensors for my board.

Back to it87 for me I guess.

Does this mean its picking up the sensor?
How did you get those log files?
