I highly doubt sensor data is "missing" from the boards you listed. While more budget oriented boards like those you listed may not have as extensive sensor data readings as more expensive boards do, your claim that the data is missing needs to be examined more closely.
But before I do that, about the missing A-Tuning program, have you installed your board's APP Shop program, and looked for the equivalent utility there? It's possible that it is there now, but simply not yet included on the download pages.
It looks like the Nuvoton chip the boards you listed are using are different than other ASRock boards, and seemingly new models. That might explain why AIDA64 and HWMonitor are apparently not reading the sensor data (I cannot verify that since I don't own the boards you listed. My Z270 GK6 board has 95% of the sensor readings I get from a high end board like the Z170 Extreme7+.)
While there is some PC hardware data that can be easily retrieved, monitoring programs must be specifically programmed to read sensor data. Even new processor and chipset generations can require programming changes to read data items. The Intel Haswell series of processors is a perfect example of that, with their internal (to the processor) VCore voltage regulators. Also, most monitoring programs simply read the processor VIDs and label it VCore, the two being related but certainly not the same thing.
If any monitoring program is up to date with reading sensor data, it will be HWiNFO64:

For some reasons H270M Pro4 and Z270M Pro4 boards are missing a vital functionality - readable sensors data (from Nuvoton NCT6683D-T) - via aida64, hwmonitor and etc. Also there's no A-tuning app - neither on disk, nor in the respective download section on website. Can someone clarify when monitoring will be available? Thanks |
