Today, I updated my OC installation and created a completely new EFI. I chose VirtualSMC and no W836 Kext and now I have sensor readings for my fans :D

I use now:


AppleALC.kext
IntelMausi.kext
Lilu.kext
SMCProcessor.kext
SMCSuperIO.kext
VirtualSMC.kext
WhateverGreen.kext

And I have all this good stuff. iStats also works with these Kexts!

Only issue with that solution: fan control is not working :/

Do you work on SMCSuperIO / VirtualSMC as well? This is all from team Acidanthera, right?

is there anyone here successfully using opencore on Big Sur with fakesmc kext?

 

My rig running fine with OC0.6.6, FakeSMC.kext and BS11.2.

 

@Paksman This is interesting.

I posted a note about this in the OC Discussion thread and am 'double-posting' this here.  I ask for Moderator forgiveness as I think this issue is relevant to both discussions.  I am now testing this updated FakeSMC.kext with OC 0.6.6.  After I updated my rig's BIOS, I started to experience random reboots and I experienced an unexpected system restart during my upgrade from BS 11.2 to BS 11.2.1.  I suspect that these reboots/restarts were caused by incompatibility between the 'old' FakeSMC.kext and OC.  If you use XCode to edit your OC config.plist (part of the migration to the new FakeSMC), see my post here.

But you are confusing FakeSMC 6.x and 3.x. They are not different versions. They are different projects and this particular thread is about FakeSMC 3.x.

FakeSMC 3.x with plugins works fine in BigSur 11.3.1b1. No crashes etc.

I want to announce new release 243.

IntelCPUMonitor

- added IceLake and TigerLake CPUs

RadeonMonitor

--added RX5500-5900 cards temperature monitoring

Added new plugin IntelMCHMonitor

for Kabylake and up. Testing will be in separate thread.

@Slice

Thanks. :)

There are changes for FakeSMC 3.5.3 since 2019 ? or not. I only use this kext from the bundle. So I want to know, if updating is necessary. Please.

Not necessary.

I may recommend to edit his info.plist

The key MSSD will be better to be 05

Hi @Slice

I've panic after change MSSD data to 05 (FakeSMC 3.5.3) on my Ivybridge config (Mojave). See screenshot. Several searches, replace by data 03 and clear NVRAM, I can boot again.

Very strange. I misunderstood something, i don't know where I mistaken

 

Spoiler

SOLVED: it's a problem with PDEditPlus: the tool don't save correctly data changes. I use Plist Edit Pro instead: the issue is solved. I can boot without panic.

OK now works well

hack Z370 --> BS11.3 FakeSMC.kext + IntelCPUMonitor.kext + IntelMCHMonitor.kext

2021-2-18_17-41-56_CLOVERX64-5130.efi.log

all that remains is that on restart before arriving at the desktop the writing appears: you turned off the computer due to a problem.
Of course there is no problem, which is not the case with virtualsmc

Hello!

 

I have a Nuvoton monitoring chip. Superiotool identified it as "Nuvoton NCT6776F/D (C) (id=0xc333)". I found out that fan registers in WinbondW836x.h are not suitable for this chip:

const UInt16 NUVOTON_TACHOMETER[] = {0x4C0,  0x4C2,  0x4C4,  0x4C6, 0x4C8, 0x4CA};

This should work (from kozlek's branch):

const UInt16 NUVOTON_TACHOMETER[] = {0x656, 0x658, 0x65A, 0x65C, 0x65E, 0x660};

I binpatched W836x.kext accordingly and now my CPU and system fans show up. This should be the datasheet. It would be nice if this could be fixed upstream. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the investigation. I can fix mainstream.

But tell me If the rule is correct for all Nuvoton chips or for a series of Nuvoton chips or just for this one or just for your case?

Hello Slice,

 

sadly, I can't tell you for sure. All I know is that Linux loads the NCT677x module. Please let me know if I can help you by providing any further data! Thank you!

I did some more investigation. Linux loads the module ntc6775. Sources are available here. It looks like all compatible chips (like nct6776), including mine with id 0xc333, are treated the same way.

Not same way. Look please the sources at your link more carefully. There are no constant 0x656 as in your example.
