Aluveitie Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I started reworking RadeonMonitor to be independent of FakeSMC to use it with VirtualSMC or in a VM without both. The RadeonSensor.kext provides the GPU temperature which the RadeonGadget.app can display in the status bar. The Design is kept close to the AMD Power Gadget. The SMCRadeonGPU.kext additionally can export the temperature to VirtualSMC for tools like iStats and HWMonitor. https://github.com/aluveitie/RadeonSensor/releases/tag/0.3.1 4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349632-radeonsensor-monitor-gpu-temperature-with-virtualsmc-or-vm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadeonSensor.kext must be placed before SMCRadeonGPU.kext as seen in Info.plist or it doesn't matter?

Aluveitie Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) @miliuco Yes, the RadeonSensor.kext must come first, since SMCRadeonGPU.kext is depending on it to get the temperature.

miliuco Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 @Aluveitie Tried. It works good. it adds an extra menubar GPU temp sensor to iStats. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349632-radeonsensor-monitor-gpu-temperature-with-virtualsmc-or-vm/#findComment-2771997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creo2005 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 SMCSuperIO and SMCProcessor not need when use RadeonSensor.kext and SMCRadeonGPU.kext with RadeonGadget.app?

I think they are different, SuperIO is for fans and disks and Processor for CPU.

Aluveitie Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Yep, not needed. My goal was to keep them as independent as possible. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349632-radeonsensor-monitor-gpu-temperature-with-virtualsmc-or-vm/#findComment-2772212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieroman Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Great work, I've been looking to get radeon 5700XT temps for so long ! You should request it to be added to virtualSMC's known plugins https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/blob/master/KnownPlugins.md Did you see any way to get more info from the cards (fan speed, multiple temp readings) ?

I digged a little through the Linux drivers, but they are complex to navigate... I tried a couple of things but could not get it to work yet, didn't have too much time to look at it. Reading frequency and maybe power usage would be the first things, fan speed I wouldn't be able to test since mine is under water.
