AIBOOST(4)

NAME
aiboost - ASUS AI Booster hardware monitor

SYNOPSIS
aiboost* at acpi?

DESCRIPTION
The 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 envsys(4) interface.

The aiboost driver typically has 7 sensors, depending on the motherboard and chipset:
Sensor | Units | Typical Use
CPU | uK | CPU Temperature
MB | uK | MB Temperature
VCC | uV DC | Core Voltage
+3.3V | uV DC | +3.3 Voltage
+5V | uV DC | +5 Voltage
+12V | uV DC | +12 Voltage
CPU | RPM | CPU Fan

SEE ALSO
envsys(4), envstat(8)

HISTORY
The aiboost driver first appeared in FreeBSD and then it was ported to NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS
-nosplit The aiboost driver was written by Takanori Watanabe and Juan Romero Pardines, who adapted the code for NetBSD.

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).
