scotty pro 4 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 I would like to monitor my temps with HWSensors and have downloaded it from Github. Upon going to install the installer says it will install the FakeSMC.kext. I am running opencore and use virtualSMC, will FakeSMC screw up my Mojave installation or will it not affect it. Also, would the sensors even work with virtualSMC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hervé 2,042 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Don't use FakeSMC + VirtualSMC at the same time, you'll have problems. It's either/or, not both. FakeSMC provides PlugIns for monitoring purposes + HWMonitor app. VirtualSMC too provides its own PlugIns for monitoring and HWMonitor app works with VirtualSMC albeit with a lot of limitations (no personal experience on the matter). It's been years since I last used it but I understand that iStat Menus app works to the full on the other hand. See here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noah977 0 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I'd also like to know the best setup for this. So far, just Istat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slice 6,742 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I may notice that HWSensors3 is not HWSensors and using HWMonitorSMC.app as well as HWMonitorSMC2.app which is also reliable for VirtualSMC if you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warbands 0 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I would love all of my 14 cores to show up under apps like iStats Menu ( latest version ). I only end up seeing 10 of my 14 cores. Activity Monitor shows all of my cores/threads correctly. While on the subject I wish my GPU temp would come up correctly as well. When I had used Fake it sorta worked, when I moved over to VirtualSMC all the GPU stuff basically went away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slice 6,742 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Did you tested this application? https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/HWMonitorSMC2/releases Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warbands 0 Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Yes, it does show all my cores, but it is a bit unwieldy compared to iStats Menu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
