![]() ![]() I've checked and rechecked the string, and I've rebuilt it from scratch using gfxutil plist to hex. I've updated to 10.6.8, but I can't seem to nail down why only one card will work. I've been using a device-properties string in my ist to define my two NVidia GeForce 9500 GT 1Gb cards (running four monitors) without a hitch up to 10.6.7. Many thanks as always for your invaluable help If you didn't add any other kexts, why do you think I can't access all the sensors? Could those blank fields in the smbios be responsible? I'm curious, did you add the other kexts to get the extra sensors or are they available to you with just the smbios tweaks? I don't have any of the other sensors available to me (fans, drives and voltages) I wasn't sure so left the Bios Date, System Version and UUID fields empty (see below). I used the wizard to create a 5.1 smbios. MAJ - Epic! Thanks so much for this incredibly useful write up. I will be updating the script to include these changes. This will work in a Extra/Extensions or Extra/Extensions.mkext (boot cache) setup. However, the SuperIOFamily.kext doesn't work for me inside FakeSMC.kext. ![]() I found that I can install the IntelCPUMonitor.kext as a PlugIn inside FakeSMC.kext/Contents/PlugIns and it works fine. The SuperIOFamily.kext and IntelCPUMonitor.kext are actually plugins, but don't install them inside the FakeSMC.kext, just install them like usual kexts. Choose the link "Release 10.6 rev493.zip". I don't know if just changing the Model Identifier is all that's needed for iStat 3 to work, but I populated all the fields and included random numbers for the serial.Īfter a restart, if no sensors show up in iStat, then try downloading the latest Plugins here. I would use the Chameleon Wizard by Janek202 and use the SMbios editor to create a MacPro5,1 setup. Intel4Ever posted at the tonymacx86 forum that he changed the Mac Model Identifier to MacPro5,1 and this, I find, is what made all the difference for me. Some have downloaded an earlier version of iStat 3 (3.05) and installed the latest MenuCracker release.Īgain, this wasn't the route I wanted to go.ĭ. Several have been trying to get around this issue by using a iStat 2 build for LionĬ. The iStat Pro widget happens to display CPU temps fine, but only for two cores and no other CPU-related data is available.ī. iStat for Lion (3.18) now has stricter filters regarding what Mac it's running on based on Mac identity data.Ī. ![]() MenuCracker, the utility used to get data to show up in the menubar, no longer works in Lion, as Apple changed the way data from 3rd-party software can use the menubar.Ģ. There are basically two issues that come up with running iStat 3 for Lion:ġ. This is what I've found after several days of searching and reading: This is a common problem and the solution doesn't seem to be easily found. AFAIK this can be fixed by adding some additional fakesmc plugin kexts (ACPIMonitor.kext, IntelCPUMonitor.kext, SuperIOFamily.kext) - available through #.Ĭan these be installed into my fakesmc.kext plugins folder manually and caches rebuilt?Īlso, there already appears to be versions of ACPIMonitor.kext, SuperIOFamily.kext (alongside IntelThermal.kext) in the plugins folder - do I copy over these and delete the IntelThermal.kext?įunny that I started working on this issue the day before you posted this, as I wanted it working with iStat Menus 3.18 and this would be a break from my normal projects. I have updated iStat to the latest version for Lion and I am no longer able to monitor cpu temps etc. ![]() Can you advise on whether this would work? ![]()
