Since there was a recent review of this hardware by ServeTheHome I am posting here, to have some community exposure, and possibly some pressure put on Minisforum to update the BIOS (and/or provide specs) for this platform to help expose monitoring for the fans and temps under Linux.
My preliminary investigation involving Unraid and CachyOS, dumping the EC RAM and looking for values corresponding to temps and PWM values proved unsuccessful. All expected values seem to be zeroes.
The controller appears to be an ITE 5571.
Some efforts on this specific controller are tracked here:
