Ryzen 7 3700X and X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi Temp Sensor Problem


Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I just created my first Unraid sever and have been loving it so far.  I was able to get my parity set up as well as started playing with various plugins.  Everything was working as expected until I got to my temperature sensors.  I installed the Dynamix System Temperature plugin along with the Nerd tools plugin.  Once completed, I proceeded to install perl from Nerd tools which allowed me to then begin setting up my temperature sensors.  

 

As discussed in the title, I am running this system with a Aorus X570 I Pro Wifi motherboard and a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU.  I don't know how if this information is relevant but I am also running a NVIDIA P2000 GPU as well.  So when I go to the Dynamix System Temperature plugin to detect my drivers, I find the k10temp driver.  I think loaded this driver and went to detect my temperature sensors.  This is where the problem comes in.

 

The only two sensors I get are "acpitz 1 and acpitz 2."  Both sensors are reporting the same temperature and it is reporting about 17 Celsius.  I simply do not believe this is either my processor or motherboard temperature and through my research it seems that this is indeed correct.  So to go about trying to fix the issue, I popped open the terminal and quickly checked to ensure the acpitz sensor was the only one detected.  A quick "sensors" and "sensors-detect" command confirmed this for me which leaves me questioning where I may have went wrong.  I apologize if this issue is one that is common, but when looking around, I could not find much to help point me in any specific direction.  Many have had an issue with the Ryzen CPU temps not showing, however, I have yet to see an issue that has both motherboard and CPU temp problems.  So with that being said, I would greatly appreciate any help you may have to point me in a direction towards getting the temperature sensors to work.  I appreciate you taking the time look through my post and look forward to trying to find a solution!

What you see is all that is available (with the kernel) so if it's not the right one then you just have to wait for the next kernel release to see if it improves anything. This probably is very true with 3rd gen Ryzen (and 10th gen Intel etc.). Even my 2nd gen Threadripper didn't have the right sensors.

 

Perhaps try 6.9.0-beta25 which has 5.x kernel with better support. My TR4 now has the right sensors.

 

PS: read the release notes very carefully so you understand the implication of using beta. There's more than just stability (which it is very stable).

Sorry for such a late reply but I was waiting until 6.9 was officially released and I just so happened to upgrade today.  The k10temp driver is still not picking up the correct temperature readings.  Anything I could do?
