peekay_us Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Are there any applications available for OS X that can monitor CPU temperature on a hackintosh? There's a great application for Linux called lm_sensors. It can monitor temperature, fanspeed, and voltage depending on what your hardware monitoring reports. It's updated frequently and has support for a lot of motherboards. http://www.lm-sensors.org/ Anybody know how difficult it might be to compile lm_sensors for OS X?

som3on3 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 There are a few: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/s...getedition.html and http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/s...s/istatpro.html For some people works fr some not. For me it isn't Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39812-lm_sensors-for-os-x/#findComment-284073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay_us Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks. Unfortunately those don't pick up my CPU temperature or fan speed. I think the overclockers here would get a lot of utility from an app that could do this.

captainsquash Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm not entirely sure if this will work for your CPU, but it's worth a shot. ---> http://macbricol.free.fr/coreduotemp/ I use it on my Macbook Pro and it works pretty well.

peekay_us Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 It seems about 90% of the job for lm-sensors is kernel drivers, so it won't work on osx. I'm not entirely sure if this will work for your CPU, but it's worth a shot. ---> http://macbricol.free.fr/coreduotemp/I use it on my Macbook Pro and it works pretty well. I tried the coreduotemp program, and it read a temp of 58C for my CPU -- pretty scary, so I checked the temp in BIOS and it was really ~25C. Maybe I can just subtract ~23 from whatever coreduotemp says, assuming its just some sort of baseline error and not slope...

helios Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Maybe coreduotemp reads temperatures from the cores? Bios doesn't do this and 25C is really good but you might be using a watercooled rigg with a freezer to lower water temps. Or else it is only a few C over roomtemp and that is impossible with a fan cooler. Check out Intel Thermal Analysis Tool to see the real temperatures from the cores. It's windows only and works only on Core duo/Core 2 duo cpus.
