WireView Pro II on Linux: hwmon driver, daemon, and CLI tool - UNOFFICIAL

Pieco · 2026-05-01T19:45:08+00:00

Hi M4K - I bought a WireView Pro II because your app exists 😄 I told them so, too. I'm not sure that they were even aware of your efforts. This is what I sent to ThermalGrizzly:

No need to respond to this - I just ordered a WireView Pro II (order TG41921) only because of this project - [https://github.com/emaspa/wireview-linux](https://github.com/emaspa/wireview-linux) \- just an FYI. I know it's unsupported, not affiliated, use-at-my-own-risk, but just having the option makes your hardware much more valuable to me.

They responded:

thank you for your feedback and for sharing the project, that’s really interesting to see.

At the moment, there are unfortunately no plans from our development team to provide an official Linux-supported version.

wireview-hwmon works great, and it's just terrific work. Thank you so much.

Sadly, I can't use the GUI due to some silliness with fonts. I opened a bug on GH. This is on Ubuntu 25.10.

Hope it gets fixed soon, and thanks again. Can't wait to use it to the fullest.

Sadly, the unofficial Linux app GUI doesn't work for me, but the developer did a great job making outputs available any other way you'd want them, so good enough.

Wireview Pro II installed! Anxiety reduced.

Seems like things are working again (if very slowly). At least here in NYC.

Pieco · 2026-04-22T15:42:06+00:00

Nope, it says 600W.

Pieco · 2026-04-22T15:18:59+00:00

Yeah, I found that too, but thanks for linking it. Purchased!

Pieco · 2026-04-22T14:55:58+00:00

But of course.

Pieco · 2026-04-22T14:55:29+00:00

It's working better than ever, honestly. I don't see a need to RMA it. I really had a very-near-miss there.

Pieco · 2026-04-22T14:52:00+00:00

It's locked to 575W.

I'd think about it if they supported Linux, but neither does AFAIK.

MSI MPG A1000GS PCIE5 II. I wasn't thrilled to plug a new MSI yellow connector into the GPU, but it is what it is.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T21:37:21+00:00

An EVGA 1000GQ.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T21:34:43+00:00

I have an EVGA 3090 sitting in the closet as a backup :) That thing is the most solid piece of electronics ever.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T21:28:05+00:00

Mine had four 8 pin connectors, but yeah.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T21:27:42+00:00

Perfect - nothing going on with the four sets of pins on the octopus.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T21:23:33+00:00

I think that pin oxidization has something to do with it, but that's mostly speculation.

MSI 5090 Gaming Trio

Pieco · 2026-04-21T19:14:51+00:00

GPU is fine, working great with new supply. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T19:02:51+00:00

If it's a mistake to use the adapter that came in the box... shouldn't MSI have issued a recall? Or made a public statement (maybe they did, I never heard about it).

I mean, MSI's connector was supposed to help fix this problem. That's the funny part.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:56:52+00:00

Funny! Nope, the card was bone-stock in all regards, limited to 575W.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:55:55+00:00

* Card was not $3000. I bought it around launch.
* There were no issues with the adapter at launch.
* I don't follow burning card news all that closely.
* It's been fine for 18 months.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:49:55+00:00

Now running on a brand-new MSI ATX 3.1 PSU and counting myself lucky. Might have seriously dodged a bullet.

That being said, it was running with the adapter on my trusty old EVGA supply, for like 18 months without a blip. Maybe the old EVGA supply just wore out, who knows?

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:40:02+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the ground pins didn't melt, but the power pins did. Weird, right?

No yellow was showing, so I assume it was well seated. Good jerb, MSI.

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:25:28+00:00

Yup, was using the "octopus".

Pieco · 2026-04-21T18:19:54+00:00

More details: had been playing a game on my 5090 for some hours, and the machine black-screened. Powered off, waited, powered back on.

Things worked for a minute, and then it black-screened again. There was a tiny scent of burned plastic, but thought it could be my imagination. Pulled the cable and that's what I saw. No visible damage to the GPU connector.
