This kernel module permit to recognize the chipset Nuvoton NCT6687-R in lm-sensors package. This sensor is present on some B550 motherboard such as MSI or ASUS.
The implementation is minimalist and was done by reverse coding of Windows 10 source code from LibreHardwareMonitor

To make it loaded after system boots
Just add nct6687 into /etc/modules
sudo sh -c 'echo "nct6687" >> /etc/modules'
sudo sh -c 'echo "nct6687" >> /etc/modules-load.d/nct6687.conf'
This module was tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with all kernel available on motherboard MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK running an AMD 3900X/AMD 5900X, and on RL8(RHEL8) MAG-B550M-MORTAR running an AMD 5700G
- Many people have reported compatibility with MB having Intel H410M & H510M chipset from some manufacturer. See issue report.
- Add support for MSI B460M Bazooka having NCT6687 with another device ID
- Add support to use generic voltage input without multiplier, allows sensors custom conf
- Support giving fan control back to the firmware
Some people report that voltage are wrong. The reason is with some motherboard, voltage sensors are not connected on the same nct6687 register.
As example the VCore sensor is connected on the 5th register for AMD but is connected on the 3rd register for INTEL.
Also the DIMM sensor is connected on the 4th register for AMD but connected to 5th register for INTEL.
To allow customize voltage configuration you must add manual=1 parameter passed to the module at load
sudo sh -c 'echo "nct6687 manual=1" >> /etc/modules'
And use a sensors conf like this /etc/sensors.d/B460M-7C83.conf

-
force (bool) (default: false) Set to enable support for unknown vendors.
-
manual (bool) (default: false) Set voltage input and voltage label configured with external sensors file. You can use custom labels and ignore inputs without setting this option if you can figure out their names (see which
*_labelcontains builtin label).
In order to be able to use this interface you need to know the path as which
it's published. The path isn't fixed and depends on the order in which chips are
registered by the kernel. One way to find it is by device class (hwmon) via a
simple command like this:
for d in /sys/class/hwmon/*; do echo "$d: $(cat "$d/name")"; done | grep nct6687
Possible output:
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon5: nct6687
This means that your base path for examples below is /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon5
(note that adding/removing hardware can change the path, drop grep from the
command above to see all sensors and their relative ordering).
Another way to look it up is by a device (class path actually just points to device path) like in:
cd /sys/devices/platform/nct6687.*/hwmon/hwmon*
The first asterisk will be expanded to an address (2592 which is 0xa20 that
you can see in sensors output) and the second one to a number like 5 from
above.
Gets/sets PWM duty cycle or DC value that defines fan speed. Which unit is used depends on what was configured by firmware.
Accepted values: 0-255 (slowest to full speed).
Writing to this file changes fan control to manual mode.
Example:
# slow down a fan as much as possible (will stop it if the fan supports zero RPM mode)
echo 0 > pwm6
# fix a fan at around half its speed (actual behaviour depends on the fan)
echo 128 > pwm6
# full speed
echo 255 > pwm6
Gets/sets controls mode of fan/temperature control.
Accepted values:
1- manual speed management throughpwm[1-8]99- whatever automatic mode was configured by firmware (this is a deliberately weird value to be dropped after adding more modes)
Example:
# fix a fan at current speed (`echo pwm6` will be constant from now on)
echo 1 > pwm6_enable
# switch back to automatic control set up by firmware (`echo pwm6` is again dynamic after this)
echo 99 > pwm6_enable
# switch to ~25% of max speed
echo 64 > pwm6
# automatic
echo 99 > pwm6_enable
# back to ~25% (it seems to be remembered)
echo 1 > pwm6_enable
1. Fan speed control
- Changing fan speed was tested successfully by users, see in reported issues.
