Monitor your temperature under OSX

I really tried hard to find a working program to check my mobo temp under osx, and i give up, obviously our sensors arent the same the Imacs or Mac Pros use, so... until yesterday, i was reading a post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...erature+monitor and Sniks said as it was the most common thing in the universe were to get the Holly grial of the overclokers, a Universal program to check our HAckintoshes temperatures under OSX.

 

Here is the Link

and the Widget

When the progrm runs first time recognizes the system as an OSX86 "Extended" and installs extra sensors!!!

 

 

I would like to see an Insanely Mac Gratitude letter for Marcel Bresink the Author

Cheers

CPU temperature monitoring certainly has been an important tool (critical for overclocking) missing from the OSx86 toolbox, so I very happy to hear this news.

 

Unfortunately, TemperatureMonitor does not seem to work on my Pentium D 920, Intel D945GNTLKR rig (at least not for reading anything but disk temperatures). I suppose this could be because I am still running 10.4.5.

Same result: Reads sata disk temp, but nothing else on Pentium D 805, ASRock Conroe945G running 10.4.4.

Damn, sorry guys, it works prfectly with my mobo, maybe my cpu temp sensor is the same with macs? i cant sey, Please we need more testers, install it and post your results here, i would love to see those Gigabyte 965's and the 975's, maybe we are lucky there.

Wrong on ASROCK Conroe 945G DVI

 

It works for me. High temp :blink: ,

 

There have been numerous reports of the Conroe temperature sensor erroneously reporting tempertatures to be much higher than they actually are, like by ~10o C. So these results may be "correct" as far as Temperature Monitor is concerned.

Numerous? Where? Can you point me to the reports?

Im starting to believe it only works with apple supported CPUs like Core Duos, Core duos 2 and probably the xeons 2.... we need more test..

 

I agree. On my highly hackintosh-compatible Intel D945GTPLKR mobo w/PentiumD945 (3.4GHz) CPU running 10.4.7 with all hackupdates, I only get hard disk temperatures. :angel:

Thats just because your mobo is compatible, but not your cpu, apple dont have any pentium d processors, i think this is onkly compatible with Core Duos and Core Duos 2

 

BTW i think te temperature measuring is correct ihave a sunbeam lcd panel telling me the same as my temperarutre monitor

yay works fine here on my new system :P

 

just tell it to install the x86 driver and it detects the two cpu core temps aswell as the SMART HDD.

 

I just built my new machine and have it overclocked, so the ability to see the temps is obviously welcome :D

It seems to work but it's about 20degrees celcius higher than the BIOS and Speedfan value, be cool if you could do -20 on the display options like you can on gkrellm on linux :)

 

Mobo: P5W DH

CPU: Core2Duo e6400

That would be great man!!

 

Apparently until now only ASUS P5W DH anf Gigabyte ga-945 series works perfectly with this.

 

im goan build a new mac for my bro, and plan using Asrock mb so he cna upgrade to core duo in the future, (its starting with a 805) so i would love to see one asrock monitoring temp application
