A now unmaintained out-of-tree version of the it87 module, available from a lot of GitHub mirrors created by random people who cloned the module until development seized, like /a1wong/it87, can be used to get sensors output on a lot of AMD B350/X370 and B450/X470 motherboards. The Linux kernel does not have support for a lot of sensors found on AMD motherboards. Some hardware requires modules that are not included in the stock Linux kernel in order to produce proper sensor output (and fan control).
The KDE System Monitor and psensor are examples that let you see the sensors output in fancy graphical graph output.
A lot of graphical programs that will display the sensors programs output do exists. Lm_sensors does not come with any graphical programs. It can be used to tell you what kernel modules you should load in case the proper modules are not loaded automagically. This can be useful but it's probably not. Tries to detect what sensors are present on your system. It can propose a /etc/fancontrol configuration file based on the results. pwmconfig can ask fan headers to set the speed to zero, max and various in between so you can figure out what mysterious Linux kernel names belong to actual controllable fans on your system. Those would likely be fan control interfaces. Tests the PWM controllers the kernel modules you have loaded exposes. Running isaset with random parameters can cause system crashes, data loss, and worse! Be extremely careful when using this program. The manual page has this scary warning: Poking around in ISA data space is extremely dangerous. We have no idea why you would want to do that. Manual page story is for what it does what it sounds like: "examine ISA registers" Reads the configuration file /etc/fancontrol which is nice if you have one for your machine and border-line black magic to configure if you don't. Just ignore it, it's there for historical purposes.įan control script that runs as a systemd service ( rvice). You may have use for sensors-detect once in your lifetime but it's not very likely.ĭisplays sensor information in a terminalĬonverts ancient lm_sensors configurations to the "new" format now standard and used for a decade. The only three tools from the lm_sensors package you need are likely sensors, for getting sensor output in a terminal, pwmconfig to figure out how to write a /etc/fancontrol configuration file and fancontrol to control your system fans if you figure out how to write a configuration file for it that will actually work on your machine.
