CaseySJ does some really nice step by step documentation. How is the HWMonitorSMC app working with the new DellSMC kext ? Haven't tried that yet. Are you getting most of the data you wanted ? Is it accurate ?
It probably is best for Mojave users to switch over to VirtualSMC from FakeSMC. Some are staying on Mojave for 32 bit apps or other 64 bit apps that don't work well with Catalina yet.
Hi Trs, I have installed the updated virtualSMC kext with the Dell sensor on my Optiplex running Mojave. When I installed mojave I used your catalina mini guide to place the kexts so they all live in kexts/other.
In HWMonitorSMC app (already had this installed but re-installed the one linked in okykrismadi's post) the Dell sensors shows up as OPC5F7 in the sensor settings and display. The display show temp readings for 'North Bridge' and 'ambient'. I assume the ambient one is the case mounted temp sensor? Seems to work fine but not sure how to test its accuracy.
On a side note, do you use the Dell CPU and fan headers to control the fans in your darkflash case using PWM or are you manually controlling them with a controller? I'm still looking into getting a new case for my Optiplex and not sure which way to go...I already have two of the 5pin to 4pin fan header adapter cables. Was also going to try one of those Cooler Master i70c CPU coolers to see if its quieter than the stock one!
