Temperature monitoring for Core i3 CPUs

I have a i3 330M and lm-sensors results in nothing. Any ideas?

I've dug up some more info..
For temperature monitoring, a QST SDK is needed for supporting the ICH8 southbridge. The OpenAMT project is working on that (http://www.openamt.org/), but there doesn't seem to be much progess.
However, it looks like Intel will be releasing an SDK itself. See: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ … hp?t=54851
Maybe after that we will have temperature & voltage monitoring support for all Nehalem and Arrandale chipsets.

  • No temperature monitors for Intel Macs?

    I found the below in the FAQ for the application 'Temperature Monitor' and thought it might helpful to understand why we don't have a temperature monitoring application, or perhaps never will. SInce we do have the speedit.kext way to read CPU temperature, perhaps at least that is possible to implement in a standalone application.
    Q: I am using the latest release of the application which should support my computer, but still no sensor at all, or only a S.M.A.R.T. hard drive temperature sensor is found. Is this normal?
    A: Unfortunately there are some specific Macintosh systems which don't allow that sensor values can be read out by a normal application program. There are two different cases:
    The computer uses a self-contained cooling control system. The hardware itself controls its own monitoring. No transfer of data from the sensor to the operating system is possible because there is no bus connection between the sensor and the actual computer.
    The computer contains sensors accessible via a data bus, but cooling control is independent of Mac OS X. Apple does not provide any device drivers which would allow application programs to get data from the sensor. Only the firmware or a closed part of the operating system core has access to sensor data.
    In both cases, it is not possible to develop an application program which could read out sensor values. The following Macintosh systems are affected by this problem:
    PowerBook G4 Titanium (all models)
    eMac (all models)
    iMac G4 (all models)
    Mac mini (all models)
    Note that Intel-based Macintosh systems use a special mix of the mentioned monitoring techniques: Mac OS X only uses the load sensor of the graphics chip for thermal management. This sensor can be displayed by Hardware Monitor without any problems, it is however not displayed by Temperature Monitor, because this sensor does not measure temperature.
    All other sensors in Intel Macs are controlled by special hardware working independently of the operating system, the Apple System Management Controller. This device has not been disclosed by Apple. There are neither drivers for Mac OS X, nor any documentation, and all details related to the function of this chip have been "censored" by Apple in the source code of Darwin. For this reason it is currently impossible that any application program could get readings from this chip.

    "Mac OS X only uses the load sensor of the graphics chip for thermal management"
    Yes and no. But, this doesn't really seem to be the case! If this is true, simply running Quake4 SHOULD cause the fans to kick on as the GPU is being heavily used. This did not happen on my machine. Only after reapplying the thermal paste would both fans kick in during heavy use. My guess is that it is actually a mix of conditions that cause the fans to operate at different levels. Heat pipe temp + GPU load + ...
    I think one variable that is not being used is processor temp. I can't really understand why not though because that would go a long way to alleviating some of our heat problems and the fans would operate in a semi-normal fashion even if the processor/heat pipe connection is suboptimal.

  • 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.
     Cheers, Tom

  • 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:

  • Is my temperature monitor working correctly?

    i've downloaded the marcel bresink temperature monitor for my macbook.
    before the firmware update, it ran at 67 degrees celsius. after the firmware update, it runs at 40's.
    when i restarted my computer few hours later, and loaded up the temperature monitor, it gave me a reading of 29 degrees and even with intensive work (where i can feel the heat and the fan working) the temperature monitor still remained at 29 degrees. right now, it seems to be stuck on 25 degrees. i've changed the preferences so that the sensors are updating the temperatures regularly. i've also tried reinstalling it. is there something wrong or am i not noticing something here?
    thanks guy!
    btw, my new macbook is working great!

    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

  • 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.

  • 27" iMac as monitor for 8-core Mac Pro with Dual DVI card... what cables?

    I have a Mac Pro 3 GHz 8-core Intel Xeon processor with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card with two DVI ports for output. One goes nicely to an external JVC monitor, but I would like to get the 27" iMac as a monitor for the Mac Pro. Has anyone heard of, or done this? What cables and connectors would be required?
    Cheers everyone.

    Actually that is only one solution. The converter is not a cable, but a black box. So you need the two cables I mentioned to make the whole process work;
    Mac pro -> DVI to DVI cable -> DVI to m-DP converter -> m-DP to m-DP cable ->iMac
    This article mentions the three that have come to market.
    http://lowendmac.com/ed/bashur/09db/dvi-to-mini-displayport.html
    The first two are expensive and very expensive. The third does not appear to support content protection schemes, so a lot of new digital video sources would not make it to the iMac's display.

  • Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

    Hi
    I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs...  I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card.  Whats a decent monitor for it?  It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability).  Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

    Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
    I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
    Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
    One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
    I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

  • New MacPro: Good temperature Monitor Application for the nMP?

    Can anyone suggest a good temperature monitoring application they have used for the new Mac Pro?
    Thanks

    I would recommend iStat Menus (http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/). I switched to it when I got the Mac Pro 2013 because Hardware Monitor doesn't work with the new Mac Pro. It's pretty good, although the history is only visual with graphs showing the evolution of the different sensors temperature. With Harware Monitor it was possible to read the temperature that were recorded at a certain point in time.

  • Looking for temperature monitoring in OS 9.2.2

    Hello!
    Got one of the last dual 1.25 models of the MDD G4 series. Although, I don't really use OS 9.2.2 anymore, for some reason I am reviving my usage of it(to a point) - Does anyone know of a way to check temperature readings with MDDs in OS 9? there has to be a temperature monitor software that will run in OS 9? I checked with the people who make temperature monitor, and they don't even have an OS 9 version.
    I am anxious to see what my cpu temps are while natively inside OS 9.2.2
    Thanks!
    Nadav

    There is a Mac OS 9 version for Daystar's MAChSpeed. One of its functions is thermal monitoring.

    It's not free, but low cost ($9.95).

  • No sensors for Temperature monitor on the beige?

    Hi,
    I just tryed to installed Temperature monitor on my beige, and it reports that there is not sensors it can find on the system. Is it normal on the beige?
    Thanks

    Steve,
    some other pieces of software ... used if you overclock your CPU or install a ZIF upgrade.
    You should know that a ZIF upgrade with a G4 does report a CPU temperature with these programs, but that it is inaccurate (putting it mildly). Mine reads below room temperature. This is a feature of the G4 implementation, I was told.
    I have a simple Radio Shack temperature monitor, a small probe on a one meter wire to an LCD readout. The probe wedges neatly into the heatsink, and can be shielded from cooling fan air with a small piece of foam. The wire can be lead out through the speaker area on the MT.
    This probe picks up the difference in heatsink temp caused by toggling the cache on and off. It also shows that Sys 9 runs hotter than OS X, 48 C vs 42 C (varies with external temp. of course, here 26). Heavy Photoshop use will raise the OS X reading several degrees, but never to the level of Sys 9.
    It also changes with its placement in the heatsink, and also with heatsink spring position. On time I didn't get the spring on right and saw a higher temp than expected so I could correct it. Also, my installation also has two small 12v fans (wired in series off the 12v disk drive supply so they run quieter) that considerably increase airflow over the CPU.

  • Temperature monitor

    temperature monitor doesn't display specified upper or lower limits for my imac 2.4. does anyones version have those displayed?

    What version of Temperature Monitor are you running? I don't have the 2.4GHz but I know someone that I can ask. What I do know is that the 2.8GHz has a listed upper limit of 100C and the 2.0GHz iMac does not have any limit specified in Temperature Monitor. The 2.4GHz iMac uses the Intel T7700 Mobile processor and doing a search I found these sites have it listed at 100C as well. I'm not really sure why TM doesn't list the upper limit like on the 2.8GHz.
