  • New PC Build, Recommend changing any hardware for Linux comparability

    Seems good to me, is there any reason you are not waiting for a 13700K(F) ? Also for the motherboard you would be able to benefit from asus-ec-sensors by swapping your motherboard for a ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 (if the price difference is acceptable and of course it’s available where you are).
  • Zenpower, nct6798 reporting different/incoherent CPU temps
    1 project | /r/archlinux | 3 Mar 2022
    As you can see the CPUIN of nct6798 is 45C while the Tdie reported by Zenpower is 57C. This is during a stress test and it seems like the Zenpower reported value makes more sense than the nct value. However I have also built and installed https://github.com/zeule/asus-ec-sensors and it seems to match the value reported by nct6798. But it just seems like both of them are a little low for a stress test although the system is watercooled, the Zenpower output makes more sense... Anyone knows what is going on here ? perhaps one is reported "CPU package" while the other is reporting "CPU core" or something ?
