can you tell me how ihave to use it ?

There are no Plugins in Faksmc ? So should i put all 4 kexts in Extra Folder ?

[MacKonsti]

Yes. All kexts go to /E/E independently. It woks like a charm!

If you used FakeSMC from ProjectOSX (latest v405) remove it completely from /S/L/E
and do the following:

sudo rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

wait for the system to rebuild the caches without FakeSMC in /S/L/E then
place the contents of HWSensors_latest.zip e.g. contents of Release 10.6 in /Extra/Extensions/
and perhaps keep either ITE or Winbond kext if you know your motherboard. Then do the following:

sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions

Works perfectly. I did not tamper with TJMAX at all.

I have no NVidia heatsink reading, but that's fine by me. Here's my verbose boot log:

[aleister Crowley]

thx..it works

MY System was booting a bit slower with old Fakesmc when using Plugins. Now it loads as usual and faster again.

I use Winbond..i think its correct for a Asus P55 Board ?

Gpu Monitor and CPU Frequenzies would be perfect

[MacKonsti]

Dear mozodojo I have an issue renaming my fan(s). My mobo is a barebone-type and has only one fan, in the rear that cools the CPU heatsink. With previous ProjectOSX FakeSMC plugin, I could rename it to "Chassis" fan name.

However, doing that here doesn't seem to work. It keeps displaying FAN0 in iStat Menus.

I edited /Extra/Extensions/IT87x.kext/Contents/Info.plist and added in <string> the following:

Quote

<key>FANIN0</key>
<string>Chassis</string>
<key>FANIN1</key>
<string></string>
<key>FANIN2</key>
<string></string>
<key>FANIN3</key>
<string></string>
<key>FANIN4</key>
<string></string>
<key>TEMPIN0</key>
<string>System</string>
<key>TEMPIN1</key>
<string></string>
<key>TEMPIN2</key>
<string>Processor</string>

Can anyone help, please? I can't find any other FAN info in the plugins. Thanks in advance.

[-CEOS-]

Thank you.

it's working great from my chameleon USB bootstick

but i think tjmax values for my intel c2q q6600 are too high...
(btw, is it normal that a quad core cpu just has 2 termal sensors ?
1 for every core would be more useful i think...)

finally northbridge temp is shown !

[The Real Deal]

Finally! monitoring without kp and E/E... this looks rock solid, works flawlessly thus far. Big thanks from France mate. GPU temp and it will fully deserved to be pinned on top!

I think it's too low here, I was used to 100 and it sets as 90. Anyway you can override via Info.plist (check first post).

Are you using iStat Pro? It only shows 2 cores, but all 4 are available, you can check with iStat Menus.


@mozodojo

If you put a direct download link for the binaries in the first post, will you need to update it manually when the package is updated?

[ErmaC]

Thanks mozodojo.
it works for me too.

Thanks, mate, will try it now. I would like to suggest that you use some kind of version numbering or release numbering, so we don't get confused. Or at least, a date... Is there a changelog with versions we can see?
Thanks for the latest download link on your first post!

P.S. I don't get to see a "Northbridge" reading, despite seeing it on previous FakeSMC (ProjectOSX). Other members here mention that they see it. Any thoughts?

EDIT: The latest binary is still the same as the one I downloaded ealier, no changes, so I guess mozodojo you corrected the code and not the compiled ones, right?

Also, should we tamper with TJmax value? What is its exact purpose, please?

[aikidoka25]

mozodojo, any plan for NVidia ION chipset in general (or especially the one in HP Mini 311)?

[Carstiman]

hello, it boots faster with my Asus P5K / E7600 but i lose the fan and hardsink temps of my Winbound Controller.
got now only the cpu temp and gpu temp from 8800GS ist missing. thx for work

I can't do nothing with this information. Give me more detailed info and maybe I'll fix it. I need kernel.log and which kext you have installed.

[DarwinX]

Any plans for the NSC support in this branch? Right now, I am using FakeSMCSuperIO.kext plugin which detects it:

SuperIO: Probing NSC
SuperIO: NSC: Found supported chip ID=0xfc REVISION=0x66 on ADDRESS=0x1600
        SuperIO: Detected NSC PC8739x on 0x1600

[mitch_de]

Great working here (C2D CPU). I used ITE + IntelTherm.

Question: Were comes the CPU Voltage (internal) - from IntelTerm, ITE or main FakeSMC ?
I ask because i would use only one of them (which shows CPU Voltage). I know thats there an second Voltage (Voltage, external of the VRM, Mainboard) i belive its from ITE but i am unsure.

HINT:
The freeware ATMonitor is really great! IT has also an build in function (Tools) for showing all found SMC keys.
Also, unique has an build in FPS measurement which can be used beside games which cant show FPS (+ VRAM measurement )
I will ask the dev to add the CPU Voltage SMC to next build of that tool - thats the only (usefull)  SMC which cant be shown by ATMonitor.
I dont like/use iStatPro/ iStatMenues because much more mem/cpu load footprint.

[The Real Deal]

The CPU voltage does not look 100%  accurate. Actually it showns 0,92v, but with mark-i and under W7: CPU-Z, Everest, etc,... all shown the same voltage: 0,944v

[mitch_de]

What .kexts makes the Voltage SMC key ?

[wojnar0]

Hello

How to find out what I have Super I/O chip inside my notebook?
I ask becouse that plugin dont show my nothing except CPU temp.

Thanks

PS. Sorry for offtopic.




//edit:




Ok I found.

Super io = Winbond W25x80

What dump do you need to add my device?

Hi guys.... for me NVCLOCKX doesn't work....
it gives me these errors during boot

kexts installed in E/E of EFI partition.
Other kexts seems working fine, even if istatpro widget show me only 2 core temps instead of 4 (intel q9300).

sorry for poor english

EDIT: missed the previous post about the 2 cores problem... sorry

Dear mozodojo thanks for the compiled binaries 2010-10-16, the FAN names work. However, I get an error when looking at Console:

Thanks to all.

Where did you get the NVClockX plugin, mate?
