I want to read the CPU temperature value of my ryzen 2600. This askubuntu answer says "just load it87
". But how do I get it87
installed? I'm running mainline 5.0.0-36-generic
so I expect the kernel module is available somewhere as 18.04.1 should have it by default and is packaged with kernel 4.15
.
The github repo is a dead link for me. So I can't just compile it and load it by hand.
update
My motherboard is a x470 chipset Asus ROG Strix x470-F gaming. It has a IT8665E.
I have it87
installed in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko
.
When I load it using
sudo modprobe it87
Results:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'it87': No such device
lm-sensors
results:
Trying family `ITE'... Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8665
(logical device 4 has address 0x290, could be sensors)
and forcing the issue results in:
sudo modprobe --verbose it87 force_id=0x8665
insmod /lib/modules/5.0.0-36-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko force_id=0x8665
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'it87': No such device

I know this isn't the answer you want.
As of this moment it appears that the IT8665e chip is not supported by the it87 module. According to a support query by olysonek and a response by goeck found here and quoted below.
