Best temperature monitoring app.? Freeware or Shareware.

Hi,
I really need to know my G4's components' temperature, so if you know which temperature app. is the best and why, I'd really appreciate if you shared!
I looked last night on the Version Tracker site, but it was kinda difficult to choose an app. Any favs out there? Freeware or Shareware, I'll take either.
Thanks_
G4 DP 1.0-1.2 GigaDesigns(DA DP 533mHz originally) Mac OS X (10.3.9) ATI 9000Pro, 1.5GB Kingston RAM, DIGI 001

I use Temerature Monitor: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
I can't say whether or not it's the best, but it seems to work very well on both my G4 and G5.

Best Temperature Monitoring Program?

Hey all, first time posting in the forums.
I recently got a mid-2012 MBP for college, so of course I immediately began putting games like Borderlands and GTA:SA on it. It runs anything I throw at it beautifully, but it gets awfully hot while it does. I know this is common for MBP's, even up to 90 degrees celsius, but it is something a tad worrisome when it gets over 80 (some games get it there every time....). So I've been trying to monitor it to at least be sure I'm not letting it get up there too often or for too long.
So had a few questions about temperature monitoring with Macs. I've currently got 3 programs running monitor temperature and system usage- System Pal, iStat Pro, and SMCfancontrol (which I also kick up a bit when playing the more GPU intensive games). The problem is that all three show different temperatures. Right now SystemPal reads 41 degrees celsius, SMCfancontrol reads 49, and iStat Pro has temps between 30 and 42 degrees. Which one's right? Is there a more accurate/definitive program for temp monitoring?
If it makes any difference, I usually play projected onto a 32 in LG TV using a thunderbolt to HDMI. I know this is more GPU intensive to begin with, but after going HD it feels a necessary evil.
If anyone happens to know of ways to keep temps down while gaming, monitor temps during full screen apps/games, or ways to monitor GPU usage (right now I have none ) I'd greatly appreciate advice on that too!
Thanks so much for answers!

Try iStat Menus 4.02 or Temperature Monitor 4.96 or Hardware Monitor 4.96.

Any Temperature Monitor apps working on MBP yet?

I've got a hot MBP like a lot of people here.
Before I call Apple, I wanted to quantify just "how hot" it is, but Temperature Monitor 3.3 "can't find a sensor" when it launches. Their product page states that they don't "fully support" MBP yet but will soon.
So. Any other way to get the internal temp reading until Temperature Monitor gets updated?
Thanks

Hardware monitor 3.4 (Marcel Bresnik Software
Systeme) is a Universal Binary. It gives me pretty
accurate temperatures. At the hottest, my MBP
records temperatures at about 117 degree Fahrenheit.
It is pretty hot to the touch, but since I survived
summer temperatures that hot as a kid, it isn't
extreme. Don't know how this compares to a PB; my
other machines are iBooks.
Do you consider this very hot or normal operations. After about 2 hours of continuous use (mostly web surfing) my wife's 12" PB is showing 113degF processor topside and 133degF graphics processor temps. It does not appear to be running any more than normal temps to me. Just trying to get a benchmark for my comtemplated MBP purchase.

Lightweight temperature monitoring app or command ?

Hello everyone,
I game with my Macbook Pro and therefore I like to keep an eye on my temperature.
I use to have the iStat Nano widget but it was discontinued and not available on the Apple site anymore. However I can find it on others but I wonder why it was discontinued, maybe it's not supported on Mavericks or something, or simply a choice of the author ?
Anyway I am looking for a lightweight app or command to check the temperatures. If possible free.
Any input on this would be really nice. Thanks a lot ! Cheers !

Look at iStats. It is a free, actively developed, Ruby gem, and can be run from the Terminal.
You install it into OS X from the Terminal. It will whine about hex characters not converted. Ignore these messages.
sudo gem install iStats
Should you decide that you want to uninstall it:
sudo gem uninstall iStats
You run it from the Terminal as:
iStats --help
iStats
The following output is from a 2014 MacBook Air that was just powered on. On your MBP, it will probably show two fans and their speed.

Best data monitor app

Hello,
I have recently purchased ipad and this is my first ipad. I am very much impressed with my new ipad but I am not at all happy with the data consumption.
I use paid wifi network (free wifi network is not available near my current location) and my ipad has consumed more than 2 Gigs in less than 4 days.
Unlike monitoring the overall data, I want to go a little bit deeper. I want to monitor the data consumption per app. I have tried a lot to search suitable app in the AppStore but couldn't find any,
It doesn't matter whether the app is paid or free, it should be nice.
Thanks in advance,
Vaibhav

The more people you have the worse it gets. If you do hangouts it gets even worse. You have to watch Google Wallet as well. Sometimes it hangs and it'll eat through your data as well. I seen a few instances where Wallet used 10-20GB overnight(On a Nexus 7). There has been a few cases on Google+ with screenshots.

Best temperature monitoring software?

I have the 990FXA-GD80V2 and speedfan shows
some of the sensors show -111C and some show 127C !? which one is my CPU? I've tried many other utilz and they show the same thing... I have an H100 cooling my CPU inside an obsidian 800D case so heat is not a problem. Thx

xmad, What do you mean setting it for 4 sticks? Where do I find that config?
Svet, I have tried many different tests and the latest beta bios has helped but has not eliminated the problem completely ...... yet.
The Revodrive is working as needed and there are no fw updates available. All drivers are on their latest.
Principle, I'll try that tonight when I get home with 2 sticks ..I was kind of disappointed that the WEI score for CPU & RAM was *lower* than when I had my Phenom x4 965 and a 790FX-GD70 (with the same sticks of ram) - i took the ram out of this old system since the board died and put it in the new one since the specs are the same but I guess its not?
Since you have the extra bandwidth, you need to overvolt the ram and I/o slightly. Perhaps a dramv of 1.65 and a small increase in NB voltage.
Also, setting the command rate to 2t may help and/or loosening the timings.
As a last resort you can slow the memory down to lower the amount of bandwidth to the IMC. Typical setting w/ 4 sticks of ram are 1066/1333 and sometimes 1600 and with enough tinkering higher speeds may be possible but really isn't worth the trouble to be honest. If you really need so much ram, you just need to keep testing until you can find a speed and latency that your IMC likes.
Also, if the 4 sticks of ram are not for a quad channel kit, that can cause this issue as well. Modern IMC's don't like ram that isn't identical and ram of the same line but different kits doesn't always match. If you purchased 2x dual channel kits you may need to return them for a quad channel kit.

Question for anyone who uses temperature monitor

i think my temperature monitor is broken..i had it on my last macbook and it worked fine..but this one says my computer is constantly at 21*Celcius...and i've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it..what is the best temperature monitor?

None of these these temperature monitors are going to work right with the current Intel Duo Core chips. It's an Intel processor design fault. I got this info from the Hardware Monitor developer.
Q: I have a Mac with an Intel Core Solo or Core Duo processor.
Sometimes, the temperature readings seems to "hang" and are no longer
being refreshed. Is this a problem with the application?
A: No, this problem is caused by an internal design flaw of current
versions of Intel Core processors. The Digital Thermal Sensors may
stop working when the processor returns from a C3/C4 power saving
state. Intel plans to correct this hardware bug for future steppings
of the CPU.
Intel refers to this hardware problem as Erratum AE18. For detailed
information, please see Intel document 30922204

Which temperature sensor is is best to monitor overall GPU temperature?

Whch is best to monitor when rendering with Blender 3D with the Nvidia 750M. Thanks for your responce!

How about one of these?
When Bresink update their software, the choices are rather sparse. I saw this but have never tried it:

For the average person what really is the point of the activity monitor app when all you really want to know is whether your mac is running at its best?

I have had my imac for nearly 18 months now,
It's okay, is the best I can say about it.
It cost me around £800+
So recently (and foolishly!) I downloaded OS Mavericks when I was actually looking for a freebie word processor programme (I got Bean because it's simple like me.)
Now the point of all this is that Mavericks has new features like a redesigned Safari (But I ain't noticed any difference yet) and Imaps (Huh!) and Ibooks and Imovie or something.
So when you are oldish like me, you really don't want people to keep changing and introducing new stuff (most of which is pointless anyway) all the time; because it takes us old ***** a while to get used to the last "improvement."
So you try and get rid of all these new apps that you don't want and didn't ask for anyway,
and then you find out you can't, because they're an integral part of the new OS.
Brilliant!
Then you find that Mail has to redo itself and this thing no longer works properly etc. and you start wishing you hadn't got up that morning...
So you try and get it all back the way it was..
And you can't.
Because you don't have an external hard drive to use the Time machine back up facility.
So you get in touch with Apple Support and it's now nearly bedtime, but at least you feel like you might be gettin' somewhere.
You talk to the supportguy and suddenly you can't remember what the problem is and what your name is, and you're thinking you might as well order in a pizza seein' as you've drunk the last of the gin..."
Anyway the guy manages to keep his temper and you get some degree of order restored but the machine still seems "jumpy" so someone says to you
"Check out the Activity Monitor! That'll tell you if something's not working right."
So you do, but it doesn't.
Just a bunch of numbers and CPU stuff and User Idiot Input etc.
All you really want is some little box to pop up and say,
"Hey! yyyou've really ssscrewed things upppp-p here, old mmmmman!!. This programme is no longer functioning properly, that thing appears to frozen, and you just wiped half your saved photos of Aunt Jessie's 94th birthday celebration (the one's where she had her eyes open)..
Press here for a full maintenance overview and repair menu.."
By this time you are on the floor, your leg's got cramp and you really really need a pee.
But there ain't no maintenance programme, just an activity monitor app you can't make any sense out of, so you yank the **** power cord out of the socket and go to bed..
So you try and

I would really find a draw application "iDraw" maybe, very useful to create diagrams and overlays on photographs. Is Apple likely to add a module to ilife or iWorks? Failing that, can anyone suggest a freeware, or shareware app? Studio8 update? alan b

Describe exactlhy what you want to do with photos? There are some apps, like Pages, that can add text and graphics over photos. Describe what you are wanting to do or post an example from somewhere else and we may be able to suggest an app.

Is it possible to transfer the temperature readings through "Serial I/O" port of Lakeshore temperature monitor?

With this monitor, you can have 2 analog outputs that you can transfer to the computer by using DAQ boards. In my case, I need temperature measurements at 3 different locations so I need 3 analog outputs, which is not possible with this device.
However, the monitor can also store temperature data in its memory and print the data. What I need is not to print the data but send the data to the computer somehow in digital form and postprocess it. I am using the "serial I/O" port to connect the device to the computer. I think I can do some configurations on the temperature monitor with the drivers in the link (http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=0241DD1B3AAF0341E0440003BA7CCD... ) but I am not sure if the device recognize the commands that I send through the I/O port.
Any advice on how to transfer (in digital form) the stored data on the monitor to the computer?

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=0241DD1B3AAF0341E0440003BA7CCD...
and the temperature monitor is the one in this link: http://www.lakeshore.com/products/cryogenic-temperature-monitors/model-218/Pages/Overview.aspx
Actually, it says in the manual that the stored data can be send to either printer or they can be retrieved by the computer interface. However, there is not enough information about how to perform this task.
I am using labview to read the data for the analog outputs and the drivers in the first link are also in labview language. But with those drivers, I cannot retrieve the data to the computer.
I will check MAX to test the communication with the device, though. Thanks for the advice!

What is the best temperature gauge software for MacBook Pro?

My MacBook Pro (late 2011, i7 Quad 2.4 GHz, SSD, OS 10.8.5, 8 Gigs RAM) which I use for pro audio production has started stuttering while playing back audio a couple of times - only editing a stereo track with no plug-ins. I thought it was my Glyph drive because my studio can get warm when the weather's hot in San Diego, even though I've never experienced this before. However, I moved the current project to my internal SSD boot drive and it started again after using the computer for several hours. I now think it's a heat issue effecting the laptop itself (it was 85 degrees F in my room). I want to buy the best software for checking temperatures (CPU, drives, etc.) and am looking at both iStat Menus and Temperature Guage.
Are there any recommendations for which is best (or if something else is better)? I would rather pay more for software that won't cause me problems when I'm doing large mixes, etc.
Thanks!
Robert

They all access the same data, so one's as good as another. iStat Menus is good for displaying a variety of information in the menubar for convenient access. But if all you want are temperature readings then I would select Temperature Monitor 4.98.

Good Temperature Monitor for C2D MBP??

Just got my 17" MBP and it's great!!
I am new to the laptop world, so if someone can recommend a temperature monitor (preferably free) that would be great.
It seems fine, but I'd like to be able to monitor this.
Cheers

It may actually be overkill......
But this is the best one I have found:

Temperature Monitor for OS 10.3.9

I need an application or console command that will show me the temperature of my CPU.
I'm running a Beige G3 that is using a G4 processor. It's running OS 10.3.9 through the use of the application xPostFacto. I've found the apps "Temperature Monitor 4.8" and "Hardware Monitor 4.8," but those don't support any Mac OSs below 10.4.x. Temperature Monitor 4.7 supports Mac OS 10.3.9, but I can't find a download of it for the life of me. All of the links redirect to version 4.8.
Please, any help would be much appreciated, my project is at a stand still until I can find something that works.
Thanks!

Click on my TMM name at left & send me an email. I'll send you the 10.3 version. Don't know if your Mac has the sensors to monitor the temps.
