Redtigerxx Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi Guys, I recently bought the MSI GTX 760 so I could power mine 4K Dell monitor (MST). I got 60HZ to work via this topic (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1760435&page=1). But one problem still exists. When Yosemite is loaded the fans of the video card go banana's. I think they run at their full speed, it's like having a hair dryer underneath your desk. I'm using the Nvidia web driver, because I need to power the screen at 60 HZ. When I use the stock driver, this problem doesn't exists. iStat menu doesn't show the GPU temperature or the fan speed. But here comes the weird part, when I put my Mac to sleep and activate it afterwards the fans aren't running at full speed. Does anybody has an idea what the problem is? Update: After sleep iStat does give the RPM and temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanCA Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I had the same problem and fixed it by deleting GPUSensors.kext from FakeSMC.kext plugins folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgldan Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks for this post. I wanted to check in and say that I was running FakeSMC 6.9.1315 when I read this post, and deleting the GPUSensors.kext was not enough to fix this problem. When I upgraded to FakeSMC 6.11.xxxx (I can't remember the last 4 numbers, but it's the FakeSMC bundled in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 7.1.1), that fixed it.
