As the title says, HWmonitor keeps try to install a new helper tool, I type in password and it asks again after a few minutes.

I did a search and saw someone had a similar issue several months ago, I tried the recommended fix of downloading the latest pkg from the website and installing that and rebooting, but it is still happening.

Any idea's?
 
I tried a bunch of things and none of them worked, I ultimately ended up deleting HWmonitor along with fakesmc, repaired permissions, ran kextutility, reinstalled fakesmc and plugins but left HWmonitor out, repaired permissions again and ran kextutility again. Rebooted to make sure all was good, it is.

Now, I don't want to deal with HWmonitor doing its little update thing every couple minutes again (perhaps its a 10.10.1 thing...) so I'm wondering if there are any good alternatives for monitoring my system?

Also, I never did have any GPU monitors up for my 970... I had the GPUsensors kext, but nothing ever showed, hoping an alternative monitoring solution can provide something that lets me see GPU fan and temp at the very least.

Thanks in advance for any information. I'll continue to research on my own in the meantime, but hoping someone just happens to know a good place to go and can maybe save me a little time, I'd be grateful :thumbup:
