[Suggestion] Sharing fan information with Ghelper for ASUS Laptop.

[Shamalow]

Hello Martin,

I have been using HWinfo for several months and I notice that a topic comes up regularly here: Missing fan sensors.

The excellent GHELPER open source software developed by Seerge, displays CPU and GPU fan speeds of ALL popular ASUS laptop models.

Perhaps you could contact Seerge, who should have all the information needed to support fan speeds on HWinfo64 for the Asus laptops?

I'm sure he could help you with that.
He's a great guy.



Ghelper link.

Problem here is that support of ASUS notebooks is not universal but requires per-model dedicated support.
HWiNFO already supports many ASUS notebook models and I'm constantly adding new ones.
I will have a look at that tool and also check to add fan speed monitoring for your model.

 

[Shamalow]

Thank you, you are very nice.

Maybe there information needed are even already available in the source code.

If not, I'm sure Seerge could help you with that.
He's a great guy too.

Would you be able to extract the ACPI DSDT table of the notebook?
You can use the RW-Everything tool or AIDA64 (use the built-in ACPI Browser -> Save DSDT) for that.

 

[Shamalow]

Of course.

 

[Martin]

Thanks! Please also attach the HWiNFO Debug File.

 

[Shamalow]

Hi

Debug file and report file.

 

[Martin]

Thanks! Please try this build and let me know if you see a new sensor with fan speeds: www.hwinfo.com/beta/hwi64_765_5269.zip
If any issue, please attach a new Debug File.

 

[Shamalow]

Yeah it's perfect!
I have to rename the title, but that's a detail.



Ah .... When the fans are at 0 RPM, HWinfo64 displays a minimum value but not 0 RPM (?)
The values are frozen at 476RPM and 842 RPM


Thank you very much for taking your time for this.
Have a nice day.

 

[Martin]

Thanks for the feedback. Which title did you have to rename?
Please attach a Debug File when the fans reach 0 RPM so I can check how to handle that.

 

[Shamalow]

I need to rename: “ASUS NB EC: ASUS ASUS TUF Gaming F17 FX707ZM_TUF707ZM”
by “Fans” for example

Another thing, when the fans are at 0RPM and I start HWINFO64 the values are not displayed :

[Martin]

Thanks. The 0 fan speed will be fixed in the next build.

Hi Martin,

I tested version 7.66, Thanks for that.
There is 1 small bug.

Hwinfo started with CPU and GPU fans: Nothing is displayed (?)


Start Fan CPU and GPU -> The values appear, it's perfect !

This is standard behavior for all fans where it's not possible to determine whether a fan is currently stopped or not present at all.
To change this, enable the "Show all fans (including stopped or not present)" option in sensor settings.
