NAME¶
acpi_aiboost —
ASUS AI Booster hardware
monitor
SYNOPSIS¶
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel
configuration file:
device
acpi_aiboost
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
line in
loader.conf(5):
DESCRIPTION¶
The
acpi_aiboost driver provides support for monitoring the
hardware sensors in recent ASUS motherboards. The driver uses ACPI as the
backend to fetch sensor values and descriptions and provides its data via the
sysctl(8) interface, under dev.acpi_aiboost.0 namespace.
Descriptions for these values are available with sysctl -d.
The
acpi_aiboost driver typically has 7 sensors, depending on
the motherboard and chipset:

HISTORY¶
The
acpi_aiboost driver first appeared in
FreeBSD 7.0.
AUTHORS¶
The
acpi_aiboost driver was written by
Takanori Watanabe. This manual page was written by
Juan Romero Pardines, who adapted the code for
NetBSD, and adopted back to FreeBSD by
Takanori Watanabe.
BUGS¶
It's possible to modify voltages via the ACPI methods in the DSDT, but for now
the driver only reports the sensors' values. CPU Q-Fan is another thing that
is typically specified in the ACPI namespace, and in the future we should
handle this feature (to enable or disable automatic/manual fan mode).
