How to check CPU speed/info on Snow Leopard
I've got everything working perfectly on my Snow Leopard install, but I can't find a program that'll monitor my CPU clock speed/voltage/temps to make sure Speed Step is working or that OSX86 isn't making my CPU hotter than its supposed to.
My specs are: Q8200 Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR 4GB 9600GSO Everything works fine, but I'm worried I might be slowly killing my machine by using Snow Leopard. |
Check out the latest fakesmc by netkas

I can monitor my temps with iStats now... :)
However, is there a way to check the clock speed with iStats, and possibly the voltage? Thanks. |
You can also use latest fakesmc version 2.5 from netkas blog...
http://netkas.org/?p=338 It enables the missing devices, needed to read CPU temps using iStat and stuff like that. |
^ That's what I used to get the iStat temps, thank you. :)
My temps are a little high, but I guess I'll live. Do you guys have Speed Step enabled? |
I've C1E enabled and judging by the temps, they seem to work. The same temps I'm seeing in Windows.

Ah damn it sorry guys - I had just gotten up after only 4 hours of sleep.^^
You might like to check out VoodooPower for speedstep... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=143898 But only 32-Bit version is avaible - SuperHai is currently looking for Betatesters for the SL version. :) |
OOoh... Speed Step works perfect now!
I can't thank you enough! I can only use this inside of 32-bit SL though, correct? It doesn't matter to me, I've never even tried booting into 64-bit mode. Thanks!!! |
Thank you guys! I can monitor my i7 temps now!
