Monitor system info, control fan mode, and battery threshold of your Gigabyte laptop on Linux
This project is not affiliated with Gigabyte Technology (or sub-brand Aorus) in any way
Currently the software is only tested on Aorus 16X (2024). If you have another laptop model, use it at your own risk. We are now responsible for any damage to your hardware
- Hardware sensors monitoring
- Fan mode
- Battery threshold
GigaCenter writes to EC (embedded controller). So make sure your kernel support ec_sys with write_support
sudo modprobe ec_sys write_support=1
The software is built in two flavors: the first is default both CLI and GUI application with almost no dependencies, the second is CLI only statically linked binary. So the steps to install the application:
- Download acrhive from Release page
- Unarhieve it
- Run
./gigacenter -d install. This will add binary to PATH and install the needed background helper as a systemd service - Done
Third step is optional for CLI usage and required for GUI
CLI usage:
$ gigacenter --help
