Model id iMac9,1 - with MacPro4,1 I get only HDD temps and fans

CPU temps coming from intelmonitor but running without at the min to see what i can get with just acpimonitor.

is Intelmonitor a must?

With Intelmonitor, Imac9,1 (set in fackesmc also) and:

CODE

                    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {

                            Return (0x0F)
                        }

                        Return (Zero)
                    }

                    Method (SMC0, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {

Which to be honest- Im very happy with! But for the exercise Id quite like to be able to add 12V 5v etc ..

Is intelmonitor nessesary fro some keys that might be read by acpimonitor or they work independent?

Yes, IntelMonitor works independently from ACPI providing information from CPU's MSR registers.
About other voltages - I have no any experience. It's up to you.

tried gpu temp and fan from here and from the insanely thread without any sucess.

while the nvclockcontroller from the overclocking thread worked perfect.

any suggestions ?

Guys, I have ThinkPad T60p and I wanted to try to enable fan control with new FakeSCM, although have no idea how to. Here's what I know:

I second this curiosity, having the same machine.
@Silencer, have you made some new findings?

I will propose to good testers some trick:
If nVidia monitoring doesn't work for you and in kernel.log you see

CODE

Nov 29 19:36:01 localhost kernel[0]: Error reading BIOS

then try to upload the VideoBios using RC5 features

CODE

  UseNvidiaROM=Yes|No     Use an alternate Nvidia ROM image
                            (path:  /Extra/<vendorid>_<devid>.rom)
  VBIOS=Yes|No            Inject VBIOS to device-properties.

It is interesting for me.

Thanks for giving us this tip, Slice. Can you please point us to a guide how to extract VGA BIOS from e.g. Ubuntu (via USB stick)? I don't think I can do that via MacOSX and don't have Windows installed on my mobo

Thanks!

thx slice for the hint,
in my log i got no error reading the bios but

I am really confused about this new fakeSMC. I have been using 2.5 for a while now and decided to give this new version a shot. First off please correct me if I have any part of this process wrong.

Step 1. I went to E/E and deleted fakeSMC 2.5 and deleted kext cashe
Step 2. I took the new FakeSMC from slice and put it in S/L/E <--- is that right? I got KP doing this so I googled away for an answer as to why.

I found that there is another version made by mozodojo AKA Super Zan-Zan that runs from E/E. So I installed this version in E/E and it works and I get my temps as I did before with 2.5. I have an x3100 and would like to use that plugin but now that I have mozodojo version running can I use that plugin?

From what it looks like the 2 projects have merged to make one project. Is that correct? Is this the main tread for that combined project now? Or is it this one? --> http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showforum=165

I am just confused about what plugins work for my system and where there supposed to be installed and what DSDT fixes I need to do to make them work if any.

There seems to be no comprehensive guide in existence on how to properly install or setup this new fakeSMC.. Maybe its still in the works somewhere but I cant find it through googling so far and If I'm lost I'm sure others are to.

Here are my system specs...
Lenovo 3000 N200 0769AVU Laptop/Macbook 4,1 90% Model match
OS: Leo 10.6.5 Snow Uni + Chameleon 2.0rc4 Testing: AnVAL - ACPI Loader
CPU: Intel Core2Duo T9300 2.5GHz 800fsb running at 738fsb due to Bios/SMBIOS issue... would love to fix that.
RAM: 4GB DDR2 @ 667MHz Dual Channel
Video: Intel X3100 965 Express CI/QE work default OSX kext
Sound: HDA 0862 works with VoodooHDA feb 2010 only
Wifi: BCM4328 Draft N card seen as Airport Extream 3rd Party
Webcam: Chicony Device ID 04f2 B013 Works with manycam!!
NW* Network: Broadcom 5906 Netlink Ethernet

Here is my LSPCI info.. That should tell all you would need.

I am sorry. There are two major version. Incompatible in plugins.
1. Old one from this thread. It work only from s/l/e. It can KP because of contain plugins that you need no (Radeon, nVclock). Read topic carefully.
2. New one from mozodojo without X3100 plugin yet.

Slice... Thank you so much for clearing that up. I will stick with what I got until mozodojo makes a x3100 plugin, hopefully. Also my superIO sensor is PC83785. Does your version cover that chip? mozodojo does not for now.

Without the plugins I think that pretty much means 2.5 is still the best. Maybe I'll watch this development a little longer.

Thanks for all the hard work. This was my first post here and I really thought I missed some info somewhere that explained this a lot better. I did read through this topic but was a little lost.

This doc is shop-doc but not document for programmers.
KB925 - same absent of datasheets.

You can got some information by Everest but I don't think it will be helpful to make monitoring. You way is ACPIMonitor with manual DSDT patching.
About X3100. It will work with FakeSMC.kext v2.7.2 (rev 405) placed into s/l/e.
Right click on the kext by mouse, wait for contextual menu, and choose Show Package Contents.

Is there any hope for a more recent revision of the FakeSMC.kext and its plugins? Perhaps, if someone has compiled it already, he or she would share it with the rest of us. Revision 405 from the front page is more than 3 months old and surely there must have been significant developments since then. Compiling the FakeSMC.kext with all of its plugins is quite time consuming, so why not share and spread the workload around? Thank You!

Edit: Please disregard the aforementioned, I've gone ahead and compiled it myself. Not as time consuming as I thought.

One question though, what is FakeSMCSMBus.kext for? Thanks.
