[solved] sensors on Gigabyte mainboards

The B560M D3H has 3 thermal sensors and 4 fans. But sensors-detect can't find them.

sensors-detect --auto                      
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0+git
# System: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B560M D3H [-CF]
# Kernel: 5.12.2-1-MANJARO x86_64
# Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz (6/167/1)

Running in automatic mode, default answers to all questions
are assumed.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): 
...
Intel digital thermal sensor...                             Success!
    (driver `coretemp')
...
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): 
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
...
Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8689
...

sensors only shows right values for coretemp and nvme-pci-0500. Those are fantasy:

sensors
acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:        +16.8°C  (crit = +20.8°C)
temp2:        +16.8°C  (crit = +20.8°C)
temp3:        +27.8°C  (crit = +105.0°C)

Can I do something or is the motherbord to new for the kernel?

Thank you

Re: [solved] sensors on Gigabyte mainboards

This works for several Gigabyte boards:

Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +30.0°C  
temp2:        +42.0°C  
temp3:        +31.0°C  
temp4:        +31.0°C  
temp5:        +35.0°C  
temp6:        +35.0°C
