Feedback on issue with ASUS ROG STRIX GL704GW #103

Closed ajlennon closed 2 years ago

ajlennon commented 3 years ago

I tried on my ASUS ROG STRIX GL704GW with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Linux ajlennon-Strix-GL704GW-GL704GW 5.11.0-37-generic #41~20.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 24 09:06:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It doesn't seem to be supported. You might be interested in the errors from dmesg

Hello @ajlennon! :wave:

Thank you for reporting the issue. Unfortunately, I don't see it the first time (#63 and #58), and there is no solution yet. I will create an issue label for it to gather them all, and maybe someone will come up with a fix (or at least an explanation)... :thinking:

PS: This issue may be somehow useful for you.

ok thanks @dominiksalvet ! Just thought I would let you know :) It's amazing how hard it is to control these ASUS fans with Linux !

dominiksalvet commented 2 years ago

All right, so it seems that somewhere since the 8th gen of Intel processors, the associated HW was also updated and it does not work with AFC due to the changes. I think you have the already affected 8th gen Intel CPU, so I am closing this issue.

I have also updated some AFC files (including readme) to reflect those findings.
