Logicpro9_user Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi guys, I am trying to get FAN readings from my motherboard using the new method with Acpimonitor.kext from project osx forms. Tis is what I have learned so far. Fakesmc.kext works to read cpu core temps, GPU temps and Drive temps. We should all get this. There now a kext that monitors the ACPI of your system, Acpimonitor.kext this detects information from the hardware monitor chip on the motherboard, The bad axe 2 chip is an SMSC Sensor chip (Model LPC47M182). But it has to be in your DSDT for it to read it. So far I have edited my DSDT to get cpu voltage reading in istats via this Acpimonitor.kext. I am now trying to get a fan reading out of it, but the problem is I am not sure how to go about getting the information about the fans on the bad axe 2 motherboard to add to my DSDT. I have tried the hack from the DSDTSE program which is.. Device (FAN) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0C0B")) Name (_PSC, 0x00) Method (_PS0, 0, NotSerialized) { \_TZ.PFAN._ON () SFAN(0x03) } Method (_PS1, 0, NotSerialized) { SFAN (0x01) } Method (_PS2, 0, NotSerialized) { SFAN (0x02) } Method (_PS3, 0, NotSerialized) { \_TZ.PFAN._OFF () } But I get a compile error as the device (FAN) don't exist on the bad axe 2 motherboard It must be called something else. this is the information i am trying to find out. but really not sure where to start. Can anyone shine some light on this subject? it is very possible to get the fan readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
