utility AMD Power Gadget - Tool & Fan

[iCanaro]

Dallo sviluppatore del kext per il rilevamento della temperatura sui processori AMD, ecco una utility che fa il verso a quella intel.

 

Caratteristiche
Supporta la lettura dei dati di temperatura, energia e clock sui processori AMD 17h.

 

✅ https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor

 

✅ https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases

 

  release 0.6.6

 

 

 

 

Installation

SMCAMDProcessor now comes in two separate binaries(kernel extensions):

• AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext for all power management features. This kext is also required if you would like to use AMD Power Gadget.
• SMCAMDProcessor.kext to publish readings to VirtualSMC, which enables macOS applications like iStat to display sensor data. This kext depends on AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext to collect sensor data, thus must be loaded after.

1. Download the kext(s) and application from Release page
2. Add AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext to kext folder of your bootloader.
3. Edit your bootloader's config file to make sure the kext is enabled.
4. If you're using VirtualSMC you can also load SMCAMDProcessor.kext to publish sensor data.
5. Bootloaders like OpenCore will link each kext in the order they present in config file, so make sure AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext comes before SMCAMDProcessor.kext as it serves as a dependency.

@ iCanaro  on my 3950x it won't display graph for frequency. I installed the latest 0.2 version of SMCAMDProcessor  and the AMD Power Gadget works but frequency graph is missing. 
Needs other settings in Opencore?
Thanks!

[yurkins]

Also VirtualSMC and SMCSuperIO are latest v.1.1.1

[iCanaro]

0.2.1

 trulyspinach

• Fixes temperature sensor value offset on Zen 1 processors.
• Add support for macOS 10.13
• Fixes a problem that cause AMD Power Gadget to crash on system with 32 or more than 32 cores.

[iCanaro]

da me ancora non funziona su high sierra e mojave, il kext non viene caricato

se qualche altro macaco con AMD ha modo di provare 😛

 

PS: aperta questione https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/issues/13

[iCanaro]

vorrei aiutare lo sviluppatore, ma ci sono cose che al momento sono oltre la mia portata.... non ho capito che dovrei fare con kextutil ☹️

 

Can you also try to load it with kextutil on 10.13 and screenshot the result?

You might need the -r flag with a directory contains Lilu and VirtualSMC for kextutil to work.

[fabiosun]

carica il kext e ripara i permessi

che non ti torna?

[iCanaro]

non mi pare proprio stia chiedendo questo, a me pare che si debba mettere LILU e VirtualSMC in una directory, per cui ho creato nella root dell'utente una cartella

e li ve li ho copiati, quello che non capisco, è la sintassi corretta da usare con kextutil

[fabiosun]

scusa..ma lui ti parla di Kextutil..e tu dalle immagini pare stia usando altro?

o mi sono arruginito?

 

[iCanaro]

non ti sei arruginito, intanto gli ho postato che dice se si installa, prima su mojave e ora su high sierra, se poi mi scrive la corretta sintassi su come usare kextutil gli posso poi dare le info che chiede

[Gengik84]

kextutil -r "patch al kext"

Fixed 🙂  https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/issues/4#issuecomment-592460963

[fabiosun]

OT:

Also IPG in my old Asus x99 and x299 add a similar problem( related to memory bios parameter) in auto TDP not showed well, I have to set manually correct frequency and not using also XMP

This problem affected also Window version of intel power gadget

[Ciro82]

Mi ero perso questo thread 😱

Durante geekbench:

 

[fabiosun]

provi anche cinebench 20 per vedere i tuoi gioielli sotto stress? 🙂

 

[iCanaro]

dopo il report che finalmente ero riuscito a fare, il dev trulyspinach mi ha passato un kext da testare:

su mojave perfetto come su catalina

su high sierra, ci siamo quasi

vi potete divertire ad unire i puntini 

[yurkins]

Why do you spend so much time on a very old macOS which is not supported by Apple for 2 years?
Yes by Apple standards it's too old, out of business.
I have an iMac mid 2011 with last supported macOS High Sierra and it stay as a decorative object =))
I can't use it for may work because I can't install latest Apple developer tools, also any app which required Metal or any new Apple framework will not work on High Sierra.
For Apple it doesn't matter, they sell hardware and make money not charitable acts. Why I should care about?
Hackintoshes or Ryzentoshes are not for simple users which can stay on a PC / Mac with an old browser, Word, Excel 2007 and they are happy 😉 
Have a nice day!

@yurkins

one or two words in my case: 

TitanXp 12Gb 😛

 

also, with your way of thinking..AMD shouldn't not exist in an Hackintosh environment 🙂

 

[iCanaro]

 

new tools work best on latest macOS versions, other tools work TOP on older macOS. Practical example, on my Z370 hack I have a touch monitor that works very well with high sierra, but with mojave and catalina instead it goes badly and does not work

 

strumenti nuovi funzionano al meglio su ultime versioni macOS, altri strumenti funzionano al TOP su macOS meno recenti.
Esempio pratico, su mio hack Z370 ho un monitor touch che funziona benissimo con high sierra, ma con mojave e catalina invece va male e non funziona
