For those that enjoy keeping an eye on all their system vitals from temperatures to voltages, the hardware monitoring "HWMON" updates have seen many device additions for [1]Linux 7.2 .
First up, the ARCTIC Fan Controller driver has been merged for [2]managing fans with this yet-to-be-released ARCTIC Cooling product . It wasn't done by a third-party or the open-source community but [3]ARCTIC Cooling developed the driver themselves and is already upstream prior to formally releasing the USB-based fan controller. Nice!
The ASUS EC Sensors driver meanwhile added support for the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME, ROG STRIX B850-E GAMING WIFI, and ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI motherboards. These additions continue to be left up to the open-source community from testing compatibility on different motherboards.
By way of the nct6683 IC driver, sensor monitoring now works on the ASRock Z890 Pro-A motherboard with Linux 7.2.
The Dell SMM driver meanwhole added the Dell Latitude 7530 to that driver's fan control whitelist.
There are also new HWMON drivers for a number of new devices including the Analog Devices LTC4283 Swap Controller, Analog Devices MAX20830, Analog Devices MAX20860A, Delta E50SN12051, Luxshare LX1308, Microchip EMC1812/13/14/15/33, Monolithic MP2985, and Murata D1U74T PSU.
