Gigabyte Aorus - Linux fan control.md

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/frankcrawford/it87

cd it87
sudo make clean
sudo 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:

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

Thanks for much for this! :)

Running Debian 12, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Pro Wifi

git clone https://github.com/frankcrawford/it87
cd it87
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install

---- This one didn't seem to do anything
sudo modprobe it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8622

But after I rebooted, I now have all sesnsors.

Can confirm this works on the Gigabyte B850M Gaming X Wifi6E motherboard like a champ.

Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi7 required ignore_resource_conflict=1. force_id and force_addr were insufficient.
