Asus Prime Z270-A - EC dump not showing all banks

[spirals413]

Hi, I am trying to get a full dump of the Asus embedded controller on my motherboard so that I can try and find the fan control values for the Asus Fan Extension card. However, the only bank that shows up in the dump is Bank #0. I've seen similar boards have Bank#0-7 showing up in the dump and some even have "special" banks.

I've tried a million and one different things with no success. Is it a limitation in AIDA64 or am I doing something wrong? I've tried enabling "EC Bank Switching" in the options incase it would make a difference, but it hasn't. Even tried a fresh install of windows with no AISuite or anything else except AIDA64.

The fan RPM for Fan EXT 1 does show up under sensors.

EC dump attached.

Please help, thanks in advance!

To avoid issues, multi-bank EC support has to be enabled on a per-motherboard basis.  Are you sure there are multiple banks for the EC of your motherboard?

Hello Fiery. Yes, I am fairly certain there is at least more than one bank in the EC on this motherboard.

EDIT: SIV shows more than one bank, but does not show all the values

Thank you, that's reassuring We'll enable multi-bank EC support for Asus Prime Z270 Series in the next AIDA64 beta update.

Thank you very much Fiery, you are a one man force on this forum; concise and efficient. If only all forums had someone like you

Thank you for your kindness.  I'm terribly slow lately, but it's just because AIDA64 suddenly became twice as popular as before -- fortunately --, and we're swamped under hundreds of user requests
