ASUS desktop motherboards have been seeing broader sensor monitoring support on Linux in recent years. ASUS motherboards for Intel and AMD processors have been seeing more support added thanks to the open-source community with new additions to the likes of the [1]ASUS-EC-Sensors driver and other hardware monitoring (HWMON) driver code. This is continuing for Linux 7.1.

Queued up over the past week have been more ASUS motherboard support additions to land in the hardware monitoring subsystem's "hwmon-next" Git branch ahead of the Linux 7.1 merge window in April.

These latest ASUS motherboard sensor support additions include the [2]ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI that initially has VRM and T_Sensor thermal sensors supported. Over on the AMD side there is also [3]ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING support with temperature sensors, CPU current, and CPU voltage support.

A newer board also being supported is the [4]ROG CROSSHAIR X670E EXTREME . The ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E EXTREME with the ASUS-EC-Sensors driver now has various temperature sensors support from the CPU to VRM to T_Sensor to any water cooling usage as well.

Outside of the ASUS motherboard additions over the past week, queued in hwmon-next is also [5]GPD Win 5 support in the HWMON driver for thar AMD Ryzen AI Max "Strix Halo" handheld.

We'll see what other hardware monitoring improvements land in hwmon-next over the weeks ahead for Linux 7.1.
