IPMI sensors not available on sensor panel Asus WRX80E Sage WS motherboard

[Lord Chariot]

The Asus Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE WiFi motherboard (Threadripper Pro) has BMC with IPMI that monitors fans, voltages, & temps. It's the only place fans speeds can be reported, which is what I'm mostly after.
AIDA64 Extreme (6.50.5800) can walk through the values when IPMI is selected on the menu, but those values are not available for use in the sensor panels.

The only stability preference that sounds like it might be related is "SMBus access through ACPI (Asus motherboards)", but that has no effect on the sensors.

6.5.5806Beta also behaves the same.

Is there anything I can do about this?

It's normal, since we cannot add IPMI sensor readings to the regular sensor module of AIDA64 due to the slow IPMI protocol.  It would make updates sluggish and cause a bad user experience.

I have the same mainboard (Asus Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE WiFi), bought AIDA64 Extreme for controlling the system values on a sidepanel and i miss also the sensors from the IPMI - especially the fans.

As i understand is the IPMI protocol very slow, so you can't watch the values as fast as the other available regular sensors like the CPU temperature.

But couldn't it be possible to create a separate / optional background process which will read the IPMI values every few seconds and send this as a virtual regular sensor to AIDA? I mean better a slow refreshing of the IPMI values as seeing nothing?!

Sorry for cross post.  I just found this article and it matches my issues.  CPU and Case fans display in real time in HW Monitor and HWInfo64, and MSI Afterburner to name a few.  I really wish Aida would find a solution to this.  I've already paid $60 US to renew AIDA64 Extreme, so it would be nice to get some use out of it.

In AIDA64 please press Ctrl+D --> Sensor Debug --> ISA Sensor Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic, or attach the results as a TXT file to your post.

Thanks,

I've replied you in your own topic.  Please continue discussion about your motherboard in your own topic to avoid redundant posting.
