Gringo Vermelho Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Istat menus with the appropriate fakesmc plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm67 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 This one is also free : http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 There's no GPU monitoring in Bresink's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm67 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That's right, but the history graph of core temperatures with this one is really nice, especially when stress testing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I use the lite version myself (menu bar) to keep tabs on CPU temps. It works fine alongside the iStat Menus widget in both Snow Leopard and Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw170 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There's no GPU monitoring in Bresink's I think. Bresink's Temperature Monitor sensors on my dv9040 with old Slice fakeSMC v2.7.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nice! Did you have to do anything to get the GPU sensor? Any fakesmc plugins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw170 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes, GPU temp with FakeSMCnVclockPort.kext v1.0.2 and CPU with FakeSMCIntelMonitor.kext v2.1 also mac model needs to be set to MB5.2 or 5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well that's a no go for me then, but thanks for sharing. EDIT, July 2012 Bresink's Temperature Monitor now shows GPU temp with kozlek's HWSensors plugins. Still using MacPro3,1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
