ACPI_AIBOOST(4) 					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					   ACPI_AIBOOST(4)

NAME

     acpi_aiboost -- ASUS AI Booster hardware monitor

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device acpi_aiboost

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   acpi_aiboost_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The acpi_aiboost driver provides support for monitoring the hardware sensors in recent ASUS motherboards.	The driver uses ACPI as the back-
     end to fetch sensor values and descriptions and provides its data via the sysctl(8) interface, under dev.acpi_aiboost.0 namespace.  Descrip-
     tions for these values are available with sysctl -d.

     The acpi_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

HISTORY

     The acpi_aiboost driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.

AUTHORS

     The acpi_aiboost driver was written by Takanori Watanabe.	This manual page was written by Juan Romero Pardines, who adapted the code for
     NetBSD, and adopted back to FreeBSD by Takanori Watanabe.

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 auto-
     matic/manual fan mode).
