vcore 0,024v? maybe you were wrong?

 

Give high loading on CPU, you have to see correct Vcore.

 

CPU in idle time.

 

CPU high loading.

You are right. So, is 0.024 ok for idle?

Yes, it is strange, but any other IO-chip sensors from FakeSMC, too will show too small Vcore in idle.
But you can always look Vcore here:

VID instead of Vcore??

I didn't understand. Explain, is slightly more detailed that you wanted to tell.

[vector sigma]

Vcore is the limit of the voltage the CPU can use while the VID is the voltage the CPU uses at any particular moment depending by its frequency range. The CPU communicate the VID to the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) which send the correct Vcore to use. (large use of google )
 

VID --> VRM --> Vcore

 

Basically VID is it a request, VRM allow or disallow and regulate the request, and Vcore is the final the CPU uses.

if you turn off the power saving mode in your BIOS (C1E/EIST), if that is the case, you should see this value going to the max.

Yes, I know it.

I'm trying to switch from FakeSMC to VirtualSMC and also SMCBatteryManager.

It looks good at first sight, but SMCBattery manager shows me 0 cycle count on battery. ACPIBatteryManager shows correct count.

I saw, that there is fix for battery cycle count 4 months ago, but even with latest version it shows 0.

 

Is there some relation between VirtualSMC and SSDT patches? I currenty use this one (https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch/blob/master/hotpatch/SSDT-BATT-G4.asl) for my battery.

 

Thank you for advices.

Today I decided to give a new look to VirtualSMC. For a long time, I consider it to unstable for my legacy configuration and relied on FakeSMC as I did for years. Just searching the web, I have discovered that VirtualSMC is updated regulary, FakeSMC is not updated as a release since October. Slice has taken over the developement of FakeSMC last year, but I suspect that FakeSMC is already becoming deprecated, like Chameleon became deprecated in favour of Clover. So, if Slice of Vector Sigma see this, I ask: Is this true? Would Slice become a developer of VirtualSMC instead of FakeSMC? If so, would you advise me to switch to VirtualSMC from FakeSMC on a legacy machine running Catalina?

Hi,

 

On my iMac18,3 hack : SMC is detected as version 2 MMIO. (Just like it should be)

On my Macmini 8,1 hack SMC is detected as version 1 PMIO. (Version 3) is it a bug in virtualSMC ?

Or a bug in OpenCore reporting v1 instead v2 ?

EDIT: I answer to myself, there's some informations missing about SMC revision and branch, not available atm. 

EDIT: T2 chipset. 

kernel: (Lilu) VirtualSMC      init: @ (DBG) successfully created vsmc provider instance

kernel: (Lilu) VirtualSMC      vsmc: @ (DBG) found APP0001 compatible service SMC

kernel: (Lilu) VirtualSMC      vsmc: @ (DBG) detected model smc-piketon from GenericV1 (override 0)

 

I use vsmcgen=2 in boot-args.

i really don't know the main differences and if it has an impact on my hack.

I've updated VirtualSMC from version 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 and my system no more comes to desktop, there's just a black screen.

Is it a know issue?

Same result on all of my machines also, Intel and Ryzen. Clover and OpenCore 0.5.6. Never loads to desktop. Revert to 1.1.1 and all is back to normal

Hi,

 

VirtualSMC last git push : Disable modules as they break Coverity.

If I understand you're with AMD Cpu with SMCAMDProcessor kext.

VirtualSMC should be the reason not OpenCore 0.5.7.

Revert back virtualSMC should solve your issue.

Hi there,

I'm been testing VirtualSMC on my system and its running fine, but the only thing that doesn't work is GPU temperature.

I've a GeForce 710. Is there a chance to have temperature of GPU on Nvidia with VirtualSMC?

Currently, I have FakeSMC installed alongside GeforceSensors.

 

Thanks

No GPU sensors.

Hi. How can I configure the Rx580 fans to work at a certain temperature?

Привет. Как то можно настроит вентиляторы Rx580  на повышенную работу при определенной температуре?

It's strange, many people reported this with VSMC 1.1.2 and reverted to 1.1.1, but with the build I have in signature down here I had no issues with 1.1.2

[kecinzer]

Is there any one else with this issue? https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/879

Hey. Help set up sensors. I said that I need to kext folder EFI-OC-kext, but no sensors. I'm new to this .If I had Ryzen 2600

Hello. iStat was working perfectly on my Hackintosh. The CPU and GPU temps are no longer displaying. I have fully updated to OpenCore 0.5.8 and latest VirtualSMC and associated drivers. Any suggestions?

Привет. iStat отлично работал на моем Хакинтоше. Температуры CPU и GPU больше не отображаются. Я полностью обновился до OpenCore 0.5.8 и последней версии VirtualSMC и связанных драйверов. Какие-либо предложения?

I installed OpenCore 0.5.7, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, VirtualSMS updated in OpenCore configurator.
