Zen CPU Not Detected

[gauravkuppa]

I am trying to use zenpower. When I install it, and use sensors or psensor, I do not get any data about the CPU temperature. In my attempts to use zenmonitor, I get an error saying Zen CPU Not Detected.

This is the output of lscpu, indicating that the CPU is recongized by my system.

@gauravkuppa was living the same issue, applying the patch specified in #39 #36 get it working back, it should work with ryzen9 too.

I think you have linked the wrong issue, you probably meant #36

yeah, my bad

Zenmonitor works on Zen 3 and Zen 4 with the patch in https://github.com/ocerman/zenmonitor/issues/36
since both generations belong to Family 0x19.

IF YOU USE THE FORKED ZENMONITOR3 CODEBASES

But the app won't recognize Zen 5 cpus since they belong to Family 0x1A

The app will just print out "No Zen cpu detected"

But I discovered that if you just replace the #define ZEN3_FAMILY 0x19 statement in the /src/zenmonitor-lib.c file with
#define ZEN3_FAMILY 0x1A
and build the app again, the app detects the Zen 5 cpus like my 9950X's. The underlying zenpower is still not working with Zen 4 or Zen 5, so no voltages or temps but you have other sources for that information.

What it can do is still access the core clocks and core and package powers since those come from the MSR registers.

Doesn't print out the correct "effective frequencies" for the cores since the undocumented MSR registers for FID and FDID have a different range of bits apparently for Zen 5. Effective frequencies in root mode print out nonsense frequencies like 600 Mhz and 16.666 Ghz for cores 0-7 and 8-15.

But the base app in non-root mode does display the core clocks correctly. Main gain is you finally can get what the core and package power consumptions are in idle and max compute loads.
