The existing 'xhci-pci-prom21' driver, developed by OpenAI Codex GPT-5.5 and upstreamed in Linux 7.2, previously only supported 800 series chipset device IDs. A new patch adds the 600 series PCI IDs with no other driver changes needed. The patch was merged as part of the USB pull request for the Linux 7.4 merge window and is also marked for backporting to 7.2 and 7.3. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does Linux support temperature monitoring for AMD 600 series chipsets? Yes, as of Linux 7.4, the 600 series chipsets that launched alongside Ryzen 7000 processors gained temperature sensor support. This came through a patch adding the correct PCI device IDs to the existing 'xhci-pci-prom21' driver, which previously only covered the 800 series. The fix is also marked for backporting to the Linux 7.2 and 7.3 kernel series. _Track kernel driver updates like this on daily.dev before you plan your next AM5 Linux upgrade._ ### What is the xhci-pci-prom21 Linux driver for? It is a hardware monitoring driver that exposes temperature sensors on AMD's Promontory 21 chipsets used in AM5 motherboards, covering both the 600 and 800 series. It was originally developed by OpenAI Codex GPT-5.5 and upstreamed in Linux 7.2 with only 800 series device IDs, later extended in Linux 7.4 to include the 600 series PCI IDs. _Developers monitoring Linux hardware support follow driver changes like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI's Coding Agent Helped Create A New AMD Temperature Driver For Linux](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-coding-agent-helped-create-a-new-amd-temperature-driver-for-linux-fc3thyxbj) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [More ASUS Desktop Motherboards Will Support Sensor Monitoring With Linux 7.1](https://daily.dev/posts/more-asus-desktop-motherboards-will-support-sensor-monitoring-with-linux-7-1-tlzkrpi81) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.4 Power Management Preps For AMD Ryzen Zen 6 & Intel Rugged Panther Lake](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-4-power-management-preps-for-amd-ryzen-zen-6-intel-rugged-panther-lake-rcsfaoivh) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.0 To Expand Temperature Reporting For Intel Graphics Cards](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-0-to-expand-temperature-reporting-for-intel-graphics-cards-39acsu5oq) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD PMC Linux Driver Preps For Zen 6 CPUs](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-pmc-linux-driver-preps-for-zen-6-cpus-wncfnvnuw) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#amd](https://daily.dev/tags/amd) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-600-series-chipsets-now-have-temperature-monitoring-support-on-linux-kazd1o9jq) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AMD 600 Series Chipsets Now Have Temperature Monitoring Support On Linux","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-600-series-chipsets-now-have-temperature-monitoring-support-on-linux-kazd1o9jq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-600-series-chipsets-now-have-temperature-monitoring-support-on-linux-kazd1o9jq"},"datePublished":"2026-10-25T10:23:51.241Z","dateModified":"2026-10-25T10:24:44.746Z","description":"Linux 7.4 adds temperature monitoring support for AMD 600 series chipsets, which launched alongside the Ryzen 7000 series.
