Add liquid temperature sensor

Open johnlietzke opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is there any way to add the liquid temperature sensor to the AMD Power Gadget?

This would be very helpful for understanding correlation of fans in SMC Fans to the liquid. I know it would require a specific kext for the motherboard to report the information.

It depends on how your liquid temperature sensor is connected to the system. ~~If it is attached via your onboard SMC it should already showing inside the SMC Fans menu.~~ EDIT: Sorry I forgot the current kext does not read SMC temperature sensors but it was once in the roadmap. However, if it is some external sensors(USB, etc) we might need specific driver to make it available to read in macOS.

I am using the motherboard. Are you planning to add the temperature back to the kext or was there some underlying reason it was removed?

What prompted my inquiry was I remember it being in there. Now I could not find it.

If you want the CPU, GPU, drive temperatures and fans in iStat Menus you these Kexts in addition to VirtualSMC.
