For those currently owning an ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO or ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI A motherboard, Linux sensor monitoring support will be in place for the next kernel release.

The ROG MAXIMUS X HERO and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI A are the latest ASUS motherboards seeing hardware monitoring “HWMON” support exposed under Linux. The motherboard support is being added to the ASUS-EC-Sensors upstream open-source driver. Patches for the support have been queued to “hwmon-next” and thus these motherboards will be supported with the next kernel cycle, which depending upon how it plays out will either be called Linux 6.20 or Linux 7.0. As with other ASUS-EC-Sensors driver work, the new product support wasn’t sadly carried out by ASUS engineers but rather the open-source community.
