>how LLMs failed me

I assumed LLM gave you or validate the idea one of the biggest mobo manufacturers on the planet didnt wire temp/fan control on their flagship Gaming board?

>not sure how you found that model number

> it's literally an F71878AD

rev 2 specifies F71889AD but Im pretty sure all Fintek F71868/869/870/878/882/889 are more or less compatible https://docs.kernel.org/hwmon/f71882fg.html https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/f...

rev 4.0 and up do list F71878AD https://www.scribd.com/document/961738196/MS-7693-Rev4-2 https://html.scribdassets.com/5xds0sz8hsgb4iux/images/27-e6d... diagram has all the fans and temp stuff wired up.

Only one pin comes to mind that would break all temp sensors, fans and Voltage monitoring but not ps2/serial/lpt, that pin is 88 analog ground.

>HWiNFO screenshot of it not reading anything

HWiNFO has this "feature" that makes it hide sensors reporting maximum/minimum possible values. HWiNFO considers such readings sign of a missing/broken sensor. Broken analog ground pin on your motherboard would make all those sensors return bad value.
