Temperature monitoring
Hi all,
Does anyone have any working temperature monitors for OSx86? I've tried iStat menus, Temperature Monitor, and one other (forgot the name), and none of them detect CPU temps, only SMART hard drive temps. I've been running VoodooPower (which I like) but after a couple of days of running, when load is high and/or graphics used intensively it KPs with a zalloc did gc, followed by an npvhash=4095. I've tried various workarounds (TState Control = false) to no avail. Right now, I can't afford crashes (and lost work), so I've disabled VP, but of course the machine runs hot. I'd like to keep an eye on the temps, and don't feel like writing a temp sensor monitor right now. I'd also prefer something with source, and/or free  Thanks! -u -- MacBook Pro - have allergy to nickel in the aluminum casing. So my kid gets an expensive toy!

Minor niggles. GMA950 with QE/CI and *no* artifacts.  iMac (luxo/lamp) G4 with Tiger.

I'm using voodoopower kext with my quad and Temp Monitor detects all 4 cores pretty well, it just has to install an intel temp driver first.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the intel temp driver. I'll go digging into the source. Maybe I can run it by its lonesome to get temp readings without voodoo power loaded.

I'm actually referring to a driver that Temperature Monitor prompts you to install the first time you run it. Is that what you mean?
I get those KP's on occasion too ~ Snow Leopard Retail w/Empire EFI ~ MSI X58 Platinum SLI ~ Intel Core i7 920 3.2GHz ~

v.4.7. Regular or lite version. Both work for me.
