Asus X470-F Gaming (BIOS 5406): Chipset temperature sensor value missing

[timiman]

Hello.

I've just updated the BIOS for my Asus X470-F Gaming to 5406 and it seems that the Chipset temperature sensor value is not showing anymore in AIDA64 sensors' list (using 6.20.5312 Beta version).

I've attached the isasensordump.txt and it seems its Sensor #12.

Thank you for your support.

Do you have Asus WMI sensor support enabled in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Stability?  Can you please post a copy-paste or screenshot of the Computer / Sensor page of AIDA64?

Yes, Asus WMI is enabled on Stability page.

Thank you.  It means the Asus WMI ACPI interface fails to provide a meaningful chipset thermal reading.  It's most likely due to a BIOS bug that Asus will fix (and soon, hopefully).

[timiman]

OK. Seems you are right because also this BIOS has the "ramp-up fans bug" that is well-known on Asus motherboards lately.

Thank you.

Just a small update.

Having exchanged emails with Asus's support, they've told me to check if the PCH temperature can be read from their AiSuite III application ( bliaaahhh ), which it does.

But, on the other hand, their software is really bad and a main cause of system instability, so I don't even have it installed !

Having a really small hope of Asus taking care of this issue in the end.
