Add MB ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA

[40417256]

Hello,

Could you add the following board to you code ? the diff is below.
The following sensors were tested on mine:

asusec-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
CPU Core: 974.00 mV
CPU_Opt: 0 RPM
VRM HS: 0 RPM
Chipset: 3495 RPM
Water_Flow: 0 RPM
Chipset: +71.0°C
CPU: +47.0°C
Motherboard: +38.0°C
T_Sensor: +30.0°C
VRM: +41.0°C
Water_In: -40.0°C
Water_Out: -40.0°C
Water_Block_In: -40.0°C
Water_Block_Out: -40.0°C
T_sensor_2: +30.0°C
Extra_1: +30.0°C
Extra_2: -40.0°C
Extra_3: -40.0°C
CPU: 4.00 A

Will this eventually get into a kernel? How can I track this?

Thank you,

Eric

Thank you, I will include this board model. Could you share the DSDT ACPI table dump, please? I can submit this the the mainline kernel for you. hwmon-next now targets 6.3, so it should be released with 6.3.

You are welcome, here is the requested file.

Thanks! I'll check the board manual regarding the CPU_Opt fan, but does it really have the VRM HS fan?

[40417256]

I have checked the CPU_Opt with a real fan and speed is reported correctly, it also has a VRM fan, hover you have to lower the values in QFan to get it starting (0 below 60C).

I also found what could look like a bug in your board definition. I use psensors and realised the chipset fan and temp could not be moved around the GUI. I renamed the label in the code and it is now working.

static const struct ec_sensor_info sensors_family_amd_500[] = {
...
201 EC_SENSOR("Chipset", hwmon_temp, 1, 0x00, 0x3a),
214 EC_SENSOR("Chipset", hwmon_fan, 2, 0x00, 0xb4),

so I changed
214 EC_SENSOR("Chipset_Fan", hwmon_fan, 2, 0x00, 0xb4),

It looks like there is the same code in for the 400 board series, but I cannot test.

Thank you for clarifying that!

Hmm.. libsensors says nothing about such limitations. hwmon /sys interface does not involve sensor labels at all. I will double check with libsensors, but I doubt duplicated labels are disallowed.

[40417256]

It is certainly right, however psensor uses labels and there is a bug. The 2 sensors created cannot be moved around in the GUI i.e. if you move one around the second will ¨stick" with it and move too, unfortunately this package seems no more maintained.

sensor label | psensor modified name
chipset | chipset temp
chipset | chipset fan

When you re order psensor will use the sensor label and not its own modified name, therefore both will move around the GUI together.

Since the sensor set you provided is identical to the one for ROG ZENITH II EXTREME, I used the same definitions. I would appreciate if you test the change before I submit it upstream.

Hello Eugene,

I am happy to report the change is working. I have one remark though you used in your code the same structure as the ROG ZENITH II EXTREME, pending we find a bug later on or a firmware update, this would impact both boards when fixing the code.

Thank you! I'll submit it upstream then. Perhaps you want your name (requires full name and email) in the commit message? In that case please drop me (grep -B4 asus-ec-sensors /usr/src/linux/MAINTAINERS) an email .

That's why you copied the definition! I believe the probability of a breaking change from the ASUS side is negligible: they don't change sensor addresses in years and between board generations, and such a change would break their own software. And since we write nothing in EC registres, we should cause no problems in the worst case of the register address change. If you have other concerns, please share.
