CPU temps and fan readings incorrect on 10.6.7

[adnbek]

Hey all!

Have a compaq sr5350f with Intel Intel® 945GC Express Chipset running 10.6.7 snow leopard,motherboard is an ASUS IPILP-LC (HP/Compaq name: Lancaster8-GL6). Graphics working, sound working, ethernet working. Only problem is the cpu temps are not being reported correctly and fan not detected at all.

It's fakesmc.kext that tells the OS this info, right? Or are there other kexts for this?

Thanks.

Yes thats true but the kexts which are needed for that are in older versions from fakesmc in the plugin folder and in newer version they are additional.

If i would be you i will get the newest of it here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/inde...showtopic=1206

Because i´ve allready seen, that a old version was the reason that it not shows the correct temp.

Cool. I'll give that a try tonight and report back. Question though: Do I need a DSDT for this to work?

Got temp readings to work accurately using fakesmc rev439 and IntelCPUmonitor plugin, both installed in extra/extensions. Fan still not detected but I can live with that.

Which plugins did you install?

Only used IntelCPUmonitor. I wanted to use ACPImonitor and SuperIO (i'm guessing fan speeds are detected by those) but don't they both need a DSDT installed?
