lm-sensors not working for Asus Tuf gaming b650 plus

Am I missing something? I tried some github repos like https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors but no success.
PSA: If you're experiencing weird fan behaviour on an ASUS motherboard after upgrading to Linux 5.17, blacklist the asus_wmi_sensors module
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 2 Apr 2022

Linux 5.17 added the Linux ASUS WMI Sensors driver which provides sensor readouts for things like fan speed on some ASUS motherboards. However, some boards like the PRIME X470-PRO have buggy firmware where subsequent calls to the interface can make fans stuck at max speed or just stop spinning altogether, leading to unpleasant noise and forced shutdowns. The problem quickly shows up if you have something like bottom running in the background, constantly querying temperature sensors. A quick fix is to blacklist the module by putting the following in /etc/modprobe.d/disable-asus-wmi.conf:

Can you tell if they spinning at all? I've had many fans just go bad over the years. You might try using lm-sensors to see if you get any helpful info from the OS.

Does Linux support sensors on new AM5 Asus X670E motherboards ?
2 projects | /r/linuxhardware | 12 Dec 2022

The sensors are, as of now, not supported. ASUS uses a new Nuvoton NCT6799D-R chip to communicate the sensor data, for which there seems to be no driver in the Kernel yet. There is a bugreport on lm-sensors: https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors/issues/416
