HWMONITOR not showing cpu temps, Voltages, fanspeeds ect in yosemite

So I have tried my best to lookup all the posts regarding this specific issue as not to doublepost an issue... I have recently completed my Yosemite install... I have a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo... I have been installing the newest versions of OSX since 10.7 .... normally I install the Fake SMC... along with the Fake SMC plugins... and the Monitor HWMonitor Application... long story short I am only seeing HHD and SSD temps.... no cpu temp, fan speeds voltages, ect... I don't know what else to do

currently I am running the latest version of Multibeast 7.0.... and FakeSMC 6.11.1328... I still use the DTSD., SSDT Sandy-bridge Core I7.. and I have to rollback AppleACPIPlatform in oder for the machine to boot up correctly after running multibeast build.....

SystemEdit Value PROJECT SANDY BRIDGE 1
CPUEdit Value Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
GraphicsEdit Value Gigabyte Nividia GForce GTX 770 2gig
Other HardwareEdit ValueSanDisk SDSSDX240GG2

pleased help!

Hi,

First of all make sure you actually have the HWSensor plugins, they're located at /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext/Contents/Plugins/

You should have AT LEAST ACPISensors.kext and CPUSensors.kext. Maybe you'll have GPUSensors.kext in there if you have a discrete GPU, or LPCSensors.kext.

ACPISensors.kext reads temperatures and fan speeds (probably more), from your DSDT. So if you're not getting CPU temps try checking your DSDT.

CPU Sensors I'm pretty sure reads the frequencies and power consumption of your CPU (may be wrong about that last part). So if you're not getting those pieces of information either make sure you have that plugin installed.

If you think everything's OK, try rebuilding caches, since the plugins have to be in the caches for it to load at boot.

To check if the sensor plugins have picked anything up, run this command in Terminal:


If the ACPISensors plugin is loaded, you should see "ACPISensor: ...."
If the CPUSensors plugin is loaded, you should see "CPUSensors..." and so on and so forth.

Cheers!

I appreciate your help on this issue

I tried to verify the items you mentioned in the reply
1. verified plugins were installed in S\L\Extensions\FakeSmc /show package contents\contents\plugins all the 4 Sensors plugins seem to be in there
2. DSTD is GA-Z68XP-UD3 F10.. it was F8 ...but for shoots and giggles I went and flashed my bios to F10... and downloaded the latest DSTD to match.. to see if the newer one made a difference
3. I got rid of HWmonitor... along with the files that were dependent on the app... using App cleaner... and the deleted FakeSmc...
4. Tried again to rebuild machine with DSTD f10 version along with the Fake SMC and plugins... and HWMonitor app....
5. rebuild caches... verified again everything was there.... but I am still getting the same results... The only temperatures the
HWMonitor is seeing are the HDD temps





shoot I even tried to use multibeast 6.~ to see if I could install the legacy FakeSMC plugins and monitor to see if that would make a difference for me.... but no bueno.. still the same results.. so I cleared out all the plugins and HWmonitor app and set it back to how I have it from the first 5 steps
any other ideas

I still havent figured out the hwmonitor issue.. any one have ideas

Hi,

Make sure your DSDT doesn't have any errors / suspicious warnings... Also make sure that a PTID device is found in your DSDT ... if it's not then you won't have any fan readings at all as that's the sensor device that detects fan RPM / battery / other things ...

You may also want to use this patch that read's the fan's RPM and reports it back ... (add it at the end of your DSDT before the last bracket.


Tell me if this works or not...

Cheers!

I checked my DTSD currently in the YosemiteSSD\Extra folder but I wasn't able to see anything unusual that I could tell.... unfortunately I don't have the reading of code skills I may need to identify any problems... I made a copy of my dstd.... and viewed it as a txt fill I saved it as an txt attachment for your viewing pleasure if your up to it...... My current (active DSTD.aml) one has the added line of code you suggested, but It didn't seem to make a difference

PS... are there any other GA-Z68XP-UD3 that are having similar issues... I just wanna make sure Im not doing something wrong... The HWMonitor worked like peas and carrots under Mavericks

I'm having the exact same issue, have followed many of the steps here and verified the drivers existence. My Mobo is X79-UD5 gigabyte.

I was checking in to this thread... I have recently installed the latest vrs of hl monitor... Rebuilt my disk permissions... All tha fun stuff... But i am still not getting mobo and cpu temps.... Was wondering if there is anyone out there still using the z68 chipset... Part of me want to upgrade to z97 so I don't have to mess with dtsd's anymore... Part or me doesn't want to spend 500 bucks just to get a hardware tool to work... I also know the difference between the Sandybrige and Haswell is 6% increase in spead.... Anywho .... If the old school sandy bridges with z68 chipsets are out there let me know if you got hl monitor to work correctly in Yosemite

I was having the same problem, HWMonitor only displayed HDD & SSD temps.

Using MultiBeast 7.2, here is what I did:

1. Launch MutiBeast
2. click Drivers
3. click Misc
4. check FakeSMC v6.14.1364
5. check FakeSMC v6.14.1364 Plugins
6. check FakeSMC v6.14.1364 HWMonitor Application
7. click Build
8. click Install
9 When MultiBeast finished, I did a Shut Down and rebooted.

Everything seems to be working.



It's worth noting that on my first attempt, I only installed the Plugins and app. No success.
Second attempt, assuming the plugins and app already existed from first attempt, I only installed FakeSMC v6.14.1364. No success.
Third attempt, I installed all three parts at the same time. Success, so far.
