    3131These days, most PC motherboards have either a Super-I/O chip with integrated sensors or a hardware monitoring chip on the SMBus (sometimes both). Laptops most often don't (thermal management is hidden behind ACPI). Of course we make no promise to support every existing component falling into either of the above categories. See the [wiki:Devices Devices] page for an up-to-date list of supported devices.

    33 For devices which are connected to a secondary bus (I2C, SMBus or SPI), a bus master driver is required in addition to the hardware monitoring chip driver. These drivers are developed and maintained in the Linux kernel tree and are no longer under our direct control. Almost all PC motherboards include an SMBus master.
