It's working fine. I have looked into your source and would like to suggest to change the comment in line 33, which reads: /* Old interface has broken fan monitoring */ The main problem with the old interface was that it didn't communicate the MCH temperature. The MCH happens to be the hottest component on this MB, so I want to keep an eye on it. The confusion about the labeling of the different fans is rather trivial. There are 6 fan connectors on the MB, all properly labeled. One of them has the label NB_fan, although there is no North Bridge fan on this board. That's just careless of Asus. I think I connected one of the chassis fans to this connector. So I would suggest that you change the comment in line 33 to: /* Old interface has broken MCH temperature monitoring */ When you think it is usefull I can verify whether the different fan connector labels are properly displayed in the BIOS output and in the output of the sensors command.

No problem :-)

I've updated the driver to automatically select the correct interface
on your board.
Compile and load it without any additional parameter.

It's working fine.
