Are you sure that VirtualSMC and it’s plugins don’t work with Radeon VII in HWMonitorSMC2? This post here reported support last year.Thank you for taking the test right away and sharing the results.
Yes, Cinebench R20 is a remarkable test for the processor, it sterss it even more than what happens with a rendering created with a 3D program and I don't know how it does it, but I think it's because it is optimized to ask only that job and therefore the answer. it is even more targeted and the resources that the system reserves are the maximum possible. The fact is that the fans (if everything is set well) go to maximum, because the temperatures do the same and you realize how noisy the PC can become ...
Seasonal temperatures are probably also influencing the results compared to what normally happens and probably if you had carried out the test in a less hot period you would have obtained those 71 degrees that I did too.
However your air cooler for that 130W+ processor really does a great job! (it should investigate the stability over time, but if you do not need it, I advise you not to use it all unnecessarily, because in the best case scenario you come out with a nice cooking of the thermal paste).
I salute you and I promise you that you will be the first to be informed when my motherboard will give me some nasty surprise , but for now also given the heat, I avoid continuing to try to understand more, because so much going around in circles while probably aggravating the situation.
We'll see how long it lasts and in the meantime I hope others will tell me what they get.
In summary I understood that if I want to continue reading the temperature of the dGPU I cannot leave the FakeSMC family and that for the rest when I load the working processor, more than at temperatures, I have to look at the frequencies and see if thermal throttling appears, and I would be really curious to understand at what temperature indicated by my motherboard this happens ...
I salute you and thank you again for your kindness.
VirtualSMC now supports Z370, Z390, & X299 Fan RPM and more!
I'll open her up later today and check, but AIDA64 under Win10 reports the IT8688E and IT8795E. A Tweaktown review also confirms those two chips. FWIW, I'm also running iMac19,1 and Mojave 10.14.4 18E2034. Adding the efi didn't change the result. I didn't have SMCHelper. Try the new ones on...
