Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master - EC_TEMP2 missing

Hello,

I use both temperature sensors on my motherboard.
In the BIOS, I manage to retrieve the value of both sensors.

In HWiNFO, the value for EC_TEMP2 is missing.

Thanks in advance!
 
EC_TEMP2 should be under the second SIO sensor (IT8792E) further below. Can you see it there?

I've just had a look, and it seems that these fans are also missing.
I did activate the discovery of fans that don't return values, and they don't appear.
 
Thanks. This board seems to have somewhat different layout with a different SIO configuration that I didn't expect. I'm checking this with GIGABYTE..
Meanwhile, not sure if this will work but please try this build and let me know the result: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_747_5128.zip
I will need a new Debug File created using this build too.
 
As requested, here is the information.
It doesn't seem to work as well, I've lost some fans that were previously displayed.
EDIT: Nothing has changed, same problem.

Thank you. So it seems I need to use a different approach...
Please try this one: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_747_5129.zip
This might show the System 4-6 fans but is not expected to show EC_TEMP2 yet. Let me know and please again attach a new Debug File from this build.

It works.
I don't understand why the operation of the motherboard is so complex just to recover (and possibly control) the fans.
What's the point of not unifying access to this information?

OK, this build should also show the missing temperatures: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_747_5130.zip
Great, it works like a charm!
I know that HWiNFO64 isn't designed to control fan speeds, but can you tell me about the complexity of interacting with fans?
I know it's easy enough for those of you on IT8689E, but with Gigabyte's embedded controller, is it easy enough?
I understand it's not necessarily possible.

Thanks for your help!

The EC is a custom component with proprietary firmware so it's different for each vendor/design and there's no standard solution.
I don't have information how to control fans in this case.
 
I'm checking this with GIGABYTE..
What do you ask GB for this information?

Looking for ITE IT8792E information to create tunable fan curves but there seems to be a bug with this Super-IO chip, needs to be in configuration mode before the first/parent chip (IT8688E) is interacted with/driver loaded.
