MacUser2525 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Edit: I've just noticed that your CPU is a Q6600, it's a 65nm CPU, so maybe Temperature Monitor detects it automatically. Exactly plus it reads the temperature correctly as the chip has the same tjunction I believe it is called as regular Mac's when I had a revision B3 chip it was off by 15C the same as its tjunction is lower to the later chips. Edit: You may want to go to the Version Tracker website to see if you can find an older version of Temperature Monitor where the support for the 45nm were first added I know I seen people who were using it then getting readings.

I don't think my problem is with kexts, because MSR Tools was able to read temperatures correctly (it was the same in Windows Vista with Everest/Core Temp). Only problem is that it loads CPU at 100% and makes Leopard unresponsive. =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136437-cpu-x-cpu-z-like-utility-for-osx/page/3/#findComment-968457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeRunner Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I noticed something rather interesting when I made some changes to the override kext used to boot my system. I had reason to switch from SMBIOSResolver.kext to an older AppleSMBIOS.kext. When I did, the results produced by cpu-x for L2 cache changed from 1024K to 512k. This must mean that the data is coming from in-memory tables, not directly from the hardware. So, you need to be aware that your kext mix can alter the answers you receive.

MacUser2525 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 +1. Please upload to another file sharing... Why bother if it is small enough then you can upload/attach images here with the existing forum software which IMHO is the best option by far...

Dette Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hmm.. It wont open for me.. Says it quit unexpectedly... Any reason for this? Could it be because im using an AMD CPU?

OG_LOC_08 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It works great for me to. Only thing it is says my Q6600 is 4.0 GHz when it is rely 3.6 and the Steping is Wrong Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136437-cpu-x-cpu-z-like-utility-for-osx/page/3/#findComment-1021967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabooka Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 works fine for my Q6600 try to make something like GPU-Z for the mac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136437-cpu-x-cpu-z-like-utility-for-osx/page/3/#findComment-1022008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apachi 007 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just like OG_LOC_08, mine works but shows 4.0 GHZ for Q6600 (Actual is O/C @ 3.0 GHZ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136437-cpu-x-cpu-z-like-utility-for-osx/page/3/#findComment-1050274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
