ARCTIC Fan Controller, More ASUS & ASRock Boards Have Sensor Monitoring With Linux 7.2

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 Linux 7.2.

First up, the ARCTIC Fan Controller driver has been merged for 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 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.
