I don't know these new kexts.

 

Do they support using the AMD Power Gadget app?

When you say SMCSuperIO, is it the one that comes with VirtualSMC package? Or is it some other variation?

 

Thanks 😉

@lorys89 repo has a modified kext to work well with AMD system

Original kexta is not updated for us
