Hwmon Linux kernel driver for monitoring Gigabyte AORUS Waterforce AIO coolers

Overview

The following devices are supported by this driver:

• Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X240
• Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X280
• Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X360

Being a standard hwmon driver, it provides readings via sysfs, which are easily accessible through lm-sensors as usual.

Report offsets were initially taken from here and confirmed by me when I acquired a X240.

Kernel availability

This driver is mainlined since kernel v6.8. If you need additional features or bugfixes not yet present in the kernel, you can install the driver from this repo yourself by following the instructions in the next section.

Installation and usage

First, clone the repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/aleksamagicka/waterforce-hwmon.git

Then, compile it and insert it into the running kernel, replacing the existing instance (if needed):

make dev

You can then try running sensors and your device(s) should be listed there.
