PWM fan control in Linux with a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard

• install lm-sensors with your package manager

sensors

If it won't show any fan/speed, continue

sensor-detect

Say YES to at least "Super I/O sensors"

Expected output:

Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688

If similar, continue

git clone https://github.com/a1wong/it87.git

cd it87
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make make install
sudo modprobe it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8622

sensors

The fans should show up now, if yes, continue to make them available at boot:

sudo su
echo options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8622 > /etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
echo it87 >> /etc/modules

Here's an updated set of instructions that worked for me on Nobara Linux. I also added tips on how to use the sensors to control your fan speed: lm-sensors/lm-sensors#154 (comment)
