I made new kext as an addition to HWSensors v3.3.

Compatibility with OS 10.6 - 10.10

Currently it show only CPU temperature. May be later I make voltage and frequencies. Voluntaries welcomed.

 

I am not sure with kozlek's project compatibility. Test with precations.

(kozlek's version is not newer. It is a branch with own enumeration)

 

Manual testing without installation:

sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel ~/Downloads/AmdCPUMonitor.kext
chmod -R 755 ~/Downloads/AmdCPUMonitor.kext
kextutil -v ~/Downloads/AmdCPUMonitor.kext

This kext v1.0 AmdCPUMonitor.kext.zip

Other files in the project (don't install all of them! For example you don't need IntelCPUMonitor)

FakeSMC_plugins_746.zip

 

New FakeSMC with Illumination version in System Profiler and no warnings in kernel.log

FakeSMC.kext_Illumination.zip

Minimum set includes FakeSMC+HWInfo

 

 

Recommended installation (I have no installer so I propose you will use Terminal.app)

sudo -s
cp -r -v ~/Downloads/HWSensors/AmdCPUMonitor.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

and so on for all kexts that will have a sense for you

ACPIMonitor.kext     - for devices in DSDT. Only for advanced users!
AmdCPUMonitor.kext   - temperature for AMD CPU
Andigilog.kext       - for andigilog chip. Found on some Intel motherboard
AnalogDevices.kext   - for chips like ADT7470-7475
F718x.kext           - for Fintek chip
FakeSMC.kext         - obligatory for any Hackintosh
GeforceSensor.kext   - for new NVidia Geforce cards
HWInfo.kext          - if you use Clover bootloader
ICHSMBus.kext        - an addition for Andigilog.kext
IntelCPUMonitor.kext - temperature, voltage and frequencies for Intel CPU up to Haswell
ITEIT87x.kext        - for ITE chip, found on most Gigabyte motherboards
NuvotonNCT677x.kext  - for Nuvotone chip, found on new ASUS motherboards
NVClockX.kext        - for old NVidia cards
PC8739x.kext         - for NSC chip, found on Dell Inspiron only
RadeonMonitor.kext   - for Radeon videocard HD4000+
W836x.kext           - for Winbond chips found on old ASUS motherboards
X3100.kext           - for Intel X3100 (GM965 chip) 

Monitor application to be used

HWMonitor.app_731.zip

 

New version andigilog.kext supports EMC6D103 chip.

 

 

Advantages: 

- no spam in system.log

- CPU usage only 0.1%

- no panics

- supported wide range of chips.

look more closely at times the plugins. you can find various plugins for different hardware, just use plugins for your CPU and graphics card and motherboard, then it will work. if you are unsure then Google plugin by everyone and read you what the plugin is. or test the plugins and boot your system so that, at worst you get a kernel panic, then read the kernel panic and take out the non-matching plugins from Extra / Extensions

or take istat pro, that work fine for Intel and AMD CPUs

...hi, is there any support sensor wise, for the LPCIO: NS PC8374L ? (from my Intel D945GNT board)...i have no temp for cpu core or die either

May be these?

Andigilog.kext       - for andigilog chip. Found on some Intel motherboard
ICHSMBus.kext        - an addition for Andigilog.kext

We should look more carefully using AIDA64 report and RW-everything testing.

...thanks slice,

Andigilog.kext does not load...edit...it must...ICHSMBus.kext does load...and assigns an IRQ...but still no temps for CPU

...here is a view of istat menu using kosl.. fakesmc with plugins cpusensor and gpusensor...

 

 

post-11772-0-69763000-1394199676_thumb.png        

cpu temps listed are just the max/min(injected not detected) cpu freq. is correct as speedstepping is disabled(microcode disabled for this series of Presler) and gpu is a dead match for values in openhardware monitor in win7

  i may have to be happy with what i have(in win7 aida64 sensor shows cpu idling at 55-60 degrees C,  motherboard 50-58 degrees C, so i know it runs hot

...on mac cpu usage while posting this shows over 80% idle, dead idle=98.7%idle...windows is a more active system, so i'm probably OK...

...i'll give you back this thread...excuse my interruption... :smoke: here's my aida64 report...

Intel® Pentium® D CPU 3.20GHz  :bye:

Did you see any messages from andigilog kext? It should be there as I see (SMBus 2Eh)

 

Or may be DSDT contains something about 0x2E?

 

EDITED. We have no chance to do IntelCPUMonitor working for you

 

The processor supports a digital thermal sensor if CPUID.06H.EAX[0] = 1. If the processor supports digital thermal sensor, EBX[bits 3:0] determine the number of thermal thresholds that are available for use. 

CPUID 00000006                                    00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000

We still have a change to add ACPImonitor or Andigilog.

Hi Slice ..  reporting here

amdcpumonitor not loaded on mavericks 10.9.3

W836x.kext .. make error at ... "opemu : wsmsr"  can't reach my desktop .... (normal on 10.8.5)

attachicon.gifamdcpu1093.png

Can you give me few more information?

Hi Slice .. I think the problem related with kernel

try with other kernel (bsa_r9, sinetek_v6) amdcpumonitor still not loaded ... no problem in 10.8.5 with bronya kernel

stuck then reboot ... W836x.kext (with cabba kernel get OPEMU: wrmsr) ... no problem in 10.8.5 with bronya kernel

 

cabba kernel + W836x.kext

sorry, pico

 

but you should to delete W836x.kext from your folder, then you can boot without problems. the driver is possibly not suitable for your hardware.

 

Edit:

 

check the FakeSMC/plugins there remove the W836x.kext, that's what your kernel panic stating "Kernel Extensions is in backtrace" !

No @spakk...  W836x.kext .. exactly for my hardware, a minute ago I try with bronya kernel r7 .. and see this ..

 

attachicon.gifbronya_kernelr7.png

 

@Slice .. W836x.kext loaded with bronya_kernel r7 but amdcpumonitor still not load

ok, it may possibly be that you have installed two times the kext. the one in the FakeSMC.kext under plugins and secondly, in Extra/Extensions or S/L/E?

Edit:

otherwise I can not explain at the moment the kernel panic
