A new open-source Linux driver integrates with the HWMON subsystem to report 12VHPWR power connector data on ASUS ROG Astral graphics cards.
This gives Linux users visibility into 12VHPWR voltage and current, addressing concerns about connector imbalance. It allows monitoring without proprietary tools, which is valuable for system builders and overclockers.
