intel Core 2 Duo Temperature - help

[asher_ungar]

Hi,

 

im trying to see my cpu core temperature (and fan speed), but haven't managed to get it working!

 

i have an intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0 Ghz.

 

i've tried the following apps:

'CoreDuoTemp'

'Hardware Monitor'

'Temperature Monitor'

'iStat pro widget'

 

all show only sensors from my SATA Hard drives.

 

Also, my Mobo is Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3R.

 

and the CPU sensor is working because at the BIOS setup i can see the temperatures (and FAN speed) ,

 

any suggestions?

Thanks,

Asher Ungar

Did you read the issues link on Temperature Monitor's site which tells you how to enable for a 45nm processor which is what you have, the relevant section below.

 

 http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TemperatureMonitor/issues.html

You can enable inaccurate temperature display for the affected processors for testing purposes. However, we don't recommend nor support this:

1. Ensure that the driver for extended x86 support is installed and quit the application.
2. Open a Terminal window and enter one of the following commands:

When using Hardware Monitor:

defaults write com.bresink.system.hardwaremonitor EnableCoreTempReadingsForCPU10670 1

When using Temperature Monitor:

defaults write com.bresink.system.tempmonitor EnableCoreTempReadingsForCPU10670 1

To return to normal operation, quit the application and use one of the following commands:

defaults delete com.bresink.system.hardwaremonitor EnableCoreTempReadingsForCPU10670

defaults delete com.bresink.system.tempmonitor EnableCoreTempReadingsForCPU10670

Hi,

thanks for the tip but it still doesnt work, after opening the program it always asks me to install the driver for extended x86 support. and it never seems to be installed,

under "monitor" the options to install the driver is still active as if it didnt install it.

but when i install it, it says it was installed succesfully.

 

do you know why?

 

thanks

Seems strange indeed now when I did it in my spare machine which has 45nm processor I had to reboot for it to start working properly. Maybe trying the same with your first removing the installed version you have reboot install again with extended installed as well when asked then reboot again and try the line above as root user and just for the hell of it one more reboot. Not sure if a reboot between every step will work but it can't hurt to make sure the driver gets initialized properly with every change made.
