Supported Devices
This is the summary page listing of all hardware monitoring devices supported by the Linux 3.x/4.x kernel.
To find out what driver you need and what chips you have use the sensors-detect utility in the lm-sensors package. If your version of sensors-detect failed to detect a chip, you should try the latest version of sensors-detect. sensors-detect is a stand-alone script, so you can simply download it and run it on any system, without installing anything (other than perl).
If you would like us to support a chip not listed below, or listed as 'not planned', please contact the hardware monitoring subsystem maintainers. Please indicate if you can help in development, testing, or donations. We don't have much spare time, so the more help you can provide, the better your chances to get a chip supported fast.
Note: This list is not entirely up to date, and some links may be stale.

| Winbond (now Nuvoton) | W83527HG | yes | w83627ehf | LPC | 2.6.31 | (2011-11-01) Stripped down version of the W83627DHG-P, fewer features but hopefully compatible (same chip ID). Reports welcome. |
| Winbond (now Nuvoton) | W83627DHG | yes | w83627ehf | LPC | 2.6.21 | Support added by David Hubbard. |
| Winbond (now Nuvoton) | W83627DHG-P | yes | w83627ehf | LPC | 2.6.31 | Essentially compatible with the W83627DHG. |
| Winbond (now Nuvoton) | W83627EHF, W83627EHG | yes | w83627ehf | LPC | 2.6.13 | Fan control support available since kernel 2.6.19. User-space support available in lm_sensors 2.9.1. |
| Winbond (now Nuvoton) | W83627UHG | yes | w83627ehf | LPC | 3.2 or standalone driver | (2011-11-05) Support contributed by Jean Delvare, tested by Ulf Bruman. |

| Winbond (now Nuvoton http://www.nuvoton.com/) | W83L771W/G, W83L771AWG/ASG | yes | lm90 | I2C | 2.6.34 or standalone driver | Found on several Zotac Ion ITX boards and also on the ASRock ALiveNF6G-DVI. Support contributed by Jean Delvare. W83L771W/G detection fixed in kernel 2.6.37. For older kernels, you can force chip type to lm86. |
| Winbond | W83L784R/G | yes | I2C | |||
| Winbond | W83L785R | yes | w83l785r | I2C | Driver is available here. If you want to use it with nVidia cards you can try nvclock instead. | |
| Winbond | W83L786NR/NG, W83L786R/G | yes | w83l786ng | I2C | 2.6.25 or standalone driver | (2013-12-03) Driver contributed by Kevin Lo. User-space support only available in lm-sensors 3.0.0 and later. Fan speed control broken before kernel 3.13, use the standalone driver if you need this feature. |
| Winbond (formerly National Semiconductor) | PC87372, PC87373 | yes | LPC | (2005-05-18) Super I/O with fan monitoring and PWM. A driver has been requested, will be developed upon donation of a board. | ||
| Winbond (formerly National Semiconductor) | PC87431 | no | ipmisensors | IPMI | (2005-10-29) Requires an SMBus adapter supported by the i2c-i801 driver and the following kernel patches: 1) Open IPMI 2.6 Kernel Patches for the ipmi-smb driver and asynchronous I2C transfers from Corey Minyard on a 2.6.12 kernel: linux-ipmi-2.6.12-base.diff, linux-ipmi-2.6.12-smb.diff, linux-i2c-2.6.12-nonblock.diff, linux-i2c-2.6.12-i801-nonblock.diff, and 2) The bmcsensors/i2c-ipmi port to Linux 2.6 by Yani Ioannou: bmcsensors-26-20050808.tar.bz2 | |
| Winbond (formerly National Semiconductor) | PC87591 | yes | LPC | (2006-11-11) LPC Mobile Embedded Controllers with ADC (voltages and temperatures) and PWM, the sensor data not accessible in standard way, cannot create the driver. | ||
| ACPI thermal zones | no | thermal_sys | ACPI | 2.6.26 | ACPI thermal zones are now exposed as standard hwmon devices so libsensors will pick them. |
Sensor classes not supported by the hwmon subsystem
| Detected by sensors-detect | Driver | Bus | Status/Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMC/IPMI management controllers | yes | ipmisensors | IPMI | (2004-12-12) Port to Linux 2.6 originally by Yani Ioannou, essentially abandoned now. Better use ipmitool instead. It doesn't integrate with lm-sensors but that's the best we can propose at the moment. |
| S.M.A.R.T. hard drive temperature | no | Use smartctl from smartmontools or hddtemp instead. Best would be to rewrite hddtemp as a kernel driver, contact us if you want to help with this. |
