I bought a system with intel DG965RY motherboard year ago, and still no support for its O/B sensors in linux.
Can I ask again, when you expect it to be released. At least intel should release documents how to access the QST sensors.
I know that HECI is first step for that, but it is not enought to read those sensors.
I Really hope there are good news, Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
