Ok, I am getting limited

Ok, I am getting limited results when I re-installed Ubuntu for this ASUS Prime X570-P  MB.

Specifically:

==============

tlgalenson@MoonGlow-CPU:~$ sensors
nvme-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +63.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +84.8°C)
                       (crit = +84.8°C)
Sensor 1:     +63.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2:     +64.8°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tctl:         +70.8°C  
Tdie:         +70.8°C  
Tccd1:        +71.0°C  
Tccd2:        +69.8°C  

tlgalenson@MoonGlow-CPU:~$

==============

If I am going to try to OC the cpu on this MB I need the CPU temperature again.  At least.  Is there a specific URL page I can go to to get "nct6775" to work?  The docs in the Asus-wmi-senors package seems to think that is the one I am looking for, for x570 MB's.  But I can't seem to get it working?

What else am I missing?

The X570 boards are not

The X570 boards are not supported for asus-wmi-sensors since they do not have a WMI BIOS.

You are stuck with the standard nct6775 SIO driver which is of limited usefullness.

There is a new asus-ec-sensors driver in the upstream 5.17 kernel hwmon repository. It can be installed from its Github repo since George was able to successfully install it.

asus-ec-sensors driver

Also you can use the zenpower3 driver to get correct voltages, temperatures and currents from the cpu.

Zenpower3 kernel driver

And a GUI monitor that can be used instead of sensors in the command line.

Zenmonitor3

You can install the nct6775 kernel driver that is in the stock Ubuntu installation by

sudo apt install nct6775

Apparently George knows more about how to understand the directions that I do.  :(

Nope.  Crashing errors and missing this thats and the others all over the place.

:(

Thank you for the directions.  I just wish I was better at being able to cipher them.

I wish you were clearer in your reponses.  I never have any idea as to what you are commenting about.

Are you saying that you have errors installing the nct6775 driver with the apt install?

OK, brain fart.  You can't install from apt a driver that is already packaged by default in the Ubuntu hwmon infrastructure. 

modinfo nct6775

Will show the module is present in the system.  All you have to do activate it.

sudo modprobe nct6775

And then follow that up with a lsmod to check that it is installed afterward.

lsmod

And finally a sensors command in the Teminal wil show the output of the nct6775 kernel module.  It might be numbered a bit differently depending on just exactly which chip version your board uses.

Keith,

I clearly have brain farts all the time.  I think it is part of what keeps my skull fully inflated.....

Keith,

The Readme.md file directions appear to require research that I was not up to doing.  That is why George was able to install it.  And I wasn't.

I think I got this one cleared up after I followed your "brain fart" reply.  It still looks like I am not getting as much info as I thought I would.  See that message for details.
