ASUS ROG Ryujin III Linux Support Arrives via Kernel Mailing List Patches
Open-source hardware monitoring for the ASUS ROG Ryujin III all-in-one liquid cooling setup is now moving toward the Linux kernel.
Expanding the asus_rog_ryujin Driver to Newer Hardware
Linux support for ASUS cooling gear began in 2024 with the development of the asus_rog_ryujin driver for the ROG Ryujin II, which was later upstreamed in Linux 6.9. Arie Miller noted that the newer coolers rely on different register offsets and architectural changes compared to their predecessors. Assistance from Codex GPT 5.6-sol AI helped shape the implementation for the newer hardware.
Tested ROG Ryujin III Models and Current Limitations
Testing confirms that the ASUS ROG RYUJIN III EXTREME, ASUS ROG RYUJIN III EVA EDITION, and ASUS ROG RYUJIN III WHITE EDITION all successfully report hardware telemetry under the proposed driver patches.
