Hi Jason.
Thanks for trying the driver. I think the Strix B450-F does have WMI sensors, but I have read in a couple of places that the implementation is buggy.
See this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/a3bayv/rog_strix_x470f_gaming_bios_4204_released_with/eb5fhs6/ "This Board has a broken WMI implementation, meaning it doesn't play nicely with any monitoring software except GPU-Z and HWInfo. Even their own ASUS AI Suite causes problems. HWInfo also warns you about it and disables the sensors on the the first time you run it. Should be fixed in a future BIOS release."
Also the HWiNFO changelog: https://www.hwinfo.com/version-history/ "Added workaround for ASUS ROG STRIX B450/X470 boards with buggy WMI implementation."
I would like to try and support it (although it may be we have to wait for ASUS to release a fixed BIOS).
I have added some additional logging to the driver.
If you reinstall the driver, you should get some output in the dmesg
output similar to the following
[ 1865.631046] asuswmisensors: Supported board
[ 1892.806338] asuswmisensors: WMI GUID matched - probing
[ 1892.806640] asuswmisensors: Vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Board: ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO (WI-FI) BIOS version: 1103 WMI version: 2
If you could send me that output please.
Thanks
If you could send me that output please.
i will.ty edit: will also install the newer bios from 2018/11/30 beforehand
this is the output

Many thanks for the output. My driver only supports ASUSHW WMI versions 2 and 3 due to locking issues with earlier versions, and your board is reporting version 0.
For the time being I will update the README to indicate that your board isn't supported, and I will try and find out what workarounds HWiNFO is using to get round the locking issues.
since then i enjoy the old stuff. :-) happy holidays
I cannot get a output like u on my Strix motherboard. Might be not suitable for that model. this is before the install and after removal of it87
then i installed the aur package
and after a reboot i get this output (the asus one now at 3rd position.
modinfo
i have no access to a windows os. not even pirated one :-) cant confirm whether its WMI or not but thanks for the effort anyway. good idea. it87 will not be touched anymore. lets be real. EDIT:it does also not work with 4.19.4 which is the last kernel version with worrking it87 module for me which gives me this (better than nothing)
