Here we discuss the IntelThermal Plug-in

You can download the latest code from assembla using terminal like this:



Latest binary you will find in Downloads section

PLEASE POST HERE ONLY BUGS, IDEAS RELATED TO IntelThermal ONLY!

One small bug found on IntelThermal, the CPU Temps should register based on number of cores not threads.
E.G. On my Atom N270 CPU 1 core 2 threads I get TC0D and TC1D registered with same value instead just TC0D, and that confuse iStat(3.10) showing 2 entry CPU and CPUB, CPUA and CPUB with free 2.0 version.

Another thing is about TjMax on this Atoms, on stock speed should be around 100-105 to match/or close to EC register, when is overclocked TjMax has to be bumped to 115. Dunno how to implement this. Any idea?

By adding Tjmax value into info.plist, it's easiest way.

Well I was thinking on some automate way, oc/not oc..
I really have no idea why temp drops on overclock with fixed tjmax.
I know plist is simple

Well that is not enough for a n00b
Better add it, and since you are on this maybe you can add CPU voltage too

The "older" version of this kext ("FakeSMCIntelThermal" in S/L/E/FakeSMC/Contents/PlugIns/) used to work for me :


The "new" version gives me in system log :


My proc is a "CoreDuo" L2400 @ 1,67 GHz, did something change for this kind of processor ?

Show, please CPUID of your processor.
You can get its by Everest in Windows. Get Hardware report.

And now new plugin IntelCPUMonitor is ready. Check it, please.

Where is it?

L.E. LOL I was keep refreshing old revision instead checking svn...

Here is what I get with KextUtility (my WinXP is bugged, and I don't plan to fix it ...)



It is a "CoreDuo" Yonah L2400 ...

Yonah appears in cpuid.h :


and I have this in smbios for "CoreDuo" (cosmetic):


I hope this might help ... and is rev 449 the latest version ?

Edit: I tried rev 454 ... no improvement so far ... same log.

Tjmax key of info.plist is TjMax in IntelThermal.kext but key value in FakeSMCIntelThermal.kext is TJMax.

Yes, IntelThermal is not supporting Yonah, but IntelCPUMonitor does.

Why won't this work for me with IntelThermal (FakeSMC v3.1.0/r477)....?
FakeSMCIntelThermal (FakeSMC v2.5) at S/L/E with TJMax=95 works great,
but TjMax=95 at IntelThermal E/E is a no-go. It Just uses default 100.....

IntelThermal: CPU family 0x6, model 0x17, stepping 0x7, cores 4, threads 0
IntelThermal: CPU Tjmax 100

I know there is a automatic Tjmax cpu detection but my QX9650 has got 95 and not 100 Tjmax....
I'm confused.

Write 95 manually into info.plist

Hi Slice,
i did it the way i did with fakesmcintelthermal.kext.
Under child iokitpersonalities/intel thermal monitor plugin....
item TjMax, Value 95...
But it won't work.
Thanks for your help and keep up the good work

But what about IntelCPUMonitor?

IntelCPUMonitor doesn't work for me. No CPU Temps.

Here is my IntelThermal-plist

<key>Intel Thermal Monitor Plugin</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>org.mozodojo.IntelThermal</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>IntelThermal</string>
<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
<string>IntelThermal</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOResources</string>
<key>IOResourceMatch</key>
<string>IOKit</string>
<key>TjMax</key>
<string>95</string>
</dict>
Cheers

IntelThermal will not load for me from /E/E unless I add OSBundleRequired=Root to its info.plist.



This is a Core 2 Duo E8500 stepping E0. Is it supposed to say "stepping 0xa"?

A "CPU Heatsink" reading showed up in iStat.
