GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD FANCONTROL DRIVER
Hans de Goede from Red Hat has reviewed and signed-off on the new driver, so it is very likely that the gigabyte-wmi driver will be become a part of Linux 5.13 when Linux 5.12 is released and the merge window opens. We have no idea if the WMI interface even provides any means of doing fan control or if it can only be done by communicating directly with the ITE chips over the Super I/O interface. There is no support for fan control or other functionality that requires two-way support. It can read sensors information from ITE chips through the WMI interface, but it can not write to them. The new driver is, in some ways, severely limited.

That leaves those with ASUS boards with ITE chips out in the cold. The new 195 lines long gigabyte-wmi driver uses the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface on Gigabyte motherboards to access the ITE chips on those boards.

German software developer Thomas Weißschuh has written a new and entirely different driver for ITE chips from scratch.

That's not a great solution for people with no programming experience.ĭo be aware that you will have big problems if you combine the it87 driver with other out-of-tree drivers like the OpenRGB driver for controlling the RGB lights on Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards. You can't expect it to work with the latest B550 and X570 boards without slightly altering the source code. The out-of-kernel it87 will work with some semi-new Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards such as the Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING-5 and the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING (we know it works on those). He gave up on that project in 2018 with farewell-message that reads:įile: /etc/modprobe.d/nf options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 Guenter Roeck used to maintain the out-of-tree driver it87 driver for ITE chips.

Those with the skill and the know-how required to compile a out of tree kernel modules can use it, but it's not a great option. There is a out-of-tree it87 module that is more updated than the practically abandoned one in the Linux kernel. Those new newer motherboards with ITE chips such as the IT8665E, IT8686E and IT8792E/IT8795E are are mostly out of luck. We have the technology and we can confirm that the kernels it87 work perfectly fine with ancient Gigabyte motherboards like the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P. It works fine you have an older ITE chip like the IT8720F found on AM3 motherboards from Gigabyte Technology. This module uses the Super I/O range to talk directly with ITE chips.

Linux users with older motherboards with ITE chips on them can use the in-kernel it87 module to get hardware sensors and either partial or full fan control working. They do not care about GNU/Linux operating system users, and neither do their biggest customers such as ASUS and Gigabyte. Hardware sensors chips, and fan control chips, on modern Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards for AMD Ryzen processors are typically provided by the Taiwanese chip-designer ITE Tech. Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P "Ultra Durable" motherboard. Written by 윤채경 (Yoon Chae-kyung) - last edited. It will likely be merged into Linux 5.13 when the merge window opens. That may change for Gigabyte-users with Linux 5.13 as a new, Gigabyte-specific WMI driver has been merged into the Linux kernels platform drivers git tree. Linux users with newer Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards for AMD processors have to compile a out-of-tree version of the it87 to get hardware sensors and fan control working, and sensor support for the very newest motherboards is a shot in the dark even if you do that.
