Hi,

MAXIMUS VII HERO is supported by HWINFO. IMHO it should be possible to add support for this MB.

Output of dmidecode:

Hi,

This motherboard does not have a known signatures of wmi endpoints in available bios dumps.

In theory it could be supported by nct6775 kernel modules as has NCT6791D chip.

Could you check what chip you have on board and what messages provided in dmesg when you load nct67** kernel module?

If it has something about chip detected but has resource conflict, you could also try to add your board to asus_wmi_boards list in module.

hi,

the MB has the NCT6791D chip (see kernel dump). It has the known issue in respect to the ACPI resource conflict (https://askubuntu.com/questions/875323/unable-to-get-lm-sensors-to-report-my-fan-speeds-for-asus-z97-ws)
