fixed: Asus Maximus X Hero not all sensors detected

[facboy]

hi,

i have a Maximus X Hero (Z370) and not all the sensors appear to be detected by AIDA64.  This is the ISA sensor dump, do you need others?

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

Let me know how it works

[facboy]

Thanks for the update, still missing two temperatures (W_IN and W_OUT), Temperature #1 should be called T_SENSOR and Fan #4 should be called W_PUMP+.

not sure if other fan/temp readings are missing as i don't have them physically connected.

Thank you for your feedback. Measuring W_IN and W_OUT would require EC (Embedded Controller) bank switching, which is a dangerous procedure to perform on Asus motherboards.  EC bank switching may collide with Asus' own AI Suite software package or its underlying service components, or the BIOS itself, and could cause system lockup or other stability issues.

T_Sensor is a generic label, meaning Temperature Sensor, that's why AIDA64 also uses a generic label for it.  It's correct that way.

On your motherboard Fan #4 will be renamed to "Water Pump" fan in the next AIDA64 beta update due in a few days from now.

oh, that's a shame.  hwinfo reads it (but does warn about instability first).  is it possible to have this EC reading enabled as an 'advanced' option, ie at user's own risk?  i'd rather not install the ASUS software as it tends to be v buggy (and unstable, ironically).

We may enable that in the near future, but only via a Stability option as you've suggested.

[facboy]

ok, looking forward to that feature!

[facboy]

not really an AIDA64 problem, but are these errors in the Windows Event Viewer due to the BIOS, or is it some other  piece of software I have on the system?

: The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.

It should be due to the BIOS accessing EC registers.

[facboy]

ok thanks.

We've implemented Asus EC bank switching in the latest AIDA64 beta build:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

You need to enable both Embedded Controller (EC) support and Embedded Controller (EC) bank switching in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability.  That will unlock a few additional sensor readings on your motherboard.  Make sure to not have Asus AI Suite or any of its background services installed on your system.  If you have any of those left around, a collision may occur while AIDA64 tries to perform EC bank switching, and it may just cause a system lockup or sudden system restart.

[facboy]

only just saw this, will try it out!

This is great news, I am assuming this is the same for the ASUS Maximus X Formula, I have one on the way.  

I am assuming that if I don't install ASUS AI Suite, then I am good to go?  The Maximus X Formula has the OLED screen that is enabled and controlled via "Live Dash" Software, have you had any issues with this software and the EC support listed above?

Thank you,

Yes, it should work with any Asus ROG motherboard.  We haven't tested the OLED screen yet.  You need to check if Live Dash requires any AI Suite components that may collide with the EC layer of AIDA64.

Thank you for the reply.  The Live Dash software does not require AI Suite to be installed... at least I don't think so.  I will report back in a few days.

I am afraid I am running into similar issues on the Asus Z370 Maximums X Code.  No VRM temp, chassis fan speeds, motherboard temp sensor, temp probe, and probably something else I am forgetting about.  AIDA extreme build 5.95.4522.  Code BIOS 1003.  Switched on both EC Support check boxes, but no change.  SMBus ACPI access also on.  No AI Suite - ever.

So I had a chance to test the EC Switching with the latest version of LiveDash on my Maximus X Formula. 

I have 2 thermal sensors connected to the W_In and W_OUT headers on the motherboard. I do not have Asus AI Suite installed. 

Before I installed the latest version of LiveDash (v1.01.08) the two temperature readings seemed correct and acted normally when using the Aida64 sensor panel. 

After I installed LiveDash, I would get momentary spikes in temperature readings only on those two sensors. The spikes would shoot up to 200+ degrees. 

 

My guess is that Live Dash might be using the same type of connections that AI Suite uses. 

 

So far, I haven’t had and crashes or freezes, only the momentary spike in temp. 

 

Is there anything I can provide you to help out?

Yes, those spikes are because LiveDash also fiddles around the EC, and switches EC banks back and forth.  There's no real solution to that issue I'm afraid.  The only "solution" is to disable EC bank switching in AIDA64, that way you won't see any temperature spikes in LiveDash.
