Kernel driver gigabyte_waterforce
=================================

Supported devices:

* Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X240
* Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X280
* Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE X360

Author: Aleksa Savic

Description
-----------

This driver enables hardware monitoring support for the listed Gigabyte Waterforce
all-in-one CPU liquid coolers. Available sensors are pump and fan speed in RPM, as
well as coolant temperature. Also available through debugfs is the firmware version.

Attaching a fan is optional and allows it to be controlled from the device. If
it's not connected, the fan-related sensors will report zeroes.

The addressable RGB LEDs and LCD screen are not supported in this driver and should
be controlled through userspace tools.

Usage notes
-----------

As these are USB HIDs, the driver can be loaded automatically by the kernel and
supports hot swapping.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
