Hi!

for those who cannot install it, try the install process trough Pacifist:

Hope it will help

Open Pacifist, select the first entry in the main screen open the .pkg from the disk image and click open. Now Select the pkg in Pacifist and click "Install" in the upper left corner. It should be installed in /Applications.
 
The Pacifist trick worked for me. I'm guessing this is related to OS X not properly identifying the CPU. Mine shows as "3 GHz Unknown" in about this mac
 
Intel Power Gadget (IPG)


The Intel Power Gadget installer checks for supported CPUs and won't install
if it can't find one it likes. As my hackintosh is a Haswell-E 5930K on X99 I'm way offside.


Here's how to install IPG manually by-passing the installer, form the command line

Download and mounter the IPG dmg.

Now, deep breath open a terminal window

# mkdir IPG
# cd IPG

# cp cp /Volumes/Intel®\ Power\ Gadget/Install\ Intel\ Power\ Gadget.pkg .

Let's see what we have

# file *
Install Intel Power Gadget.pkg: xar archive - version 1

Ok, it's a xar file, let's extract it.

# xar -xvf Install\ Intel\ Power\ Gadget.pkg
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg/Bom
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg/Payload
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg/Scripts
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg/PackageInfo
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg/Bom
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg/Payload
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg/Scripts
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg/PackageInfo
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg/Bom
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg/Payload
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg/Scripts
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg/PackageInfo
Resources/license.txt
Distribution
Resources
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg

What did we get ?

# ls -1
Distribution
Install Intel Power Gadget.pkg
Intel Power Gadget Application.pkg/
Intel Power Gadget Driver (>=10.9).pkg/
Intel Power Gadget Framework.pkg/
Resources/

So we got the IPG app itself, a Framework and a driver (kext)
Let's start with the kext

# cd Intel\ Power\ Gadget\ Driver\ \(\>=10.9\).pkg/

And what's in here

# file *
Bom: Mac OS X bill of materials (BOM) file
PackageInfo: XML 1.0 document text, ASCII text
Payload: gzip compressed data, from Unix
Scripts: gzip compressed data, from Unix

Not much we can do with the Bom or PackageInfo, so let's mess with the gzips

# mv Payload Payload.gz
# gunzip Payload.gz

Now what do we have

# file Payload
Payload: ASCII cpio archive (pre-SVR4 or odc)

A cpio file, well let's deal with that

# cpio -idv < Payload
.
./EnergyDriver.kext
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents/_CodeSignature
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents/_CodeSignature/CodeResources
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS
./EnergyDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS/EnergyDriver
122 blocks

Ah, there's the kext, we know what to do with that

# sudo pax -pe -rw EnergyDriver.kext /Library/Extensions

# sudo kextload /Libarary/Extensions/EnergyDriver.kext

Now for the Framework

# cd ..
# cd Intel\ Power\ Gadget\ Framework.pkg/

# file *
Bom: Mac OS X bill of materials (BOM) file
PackageInfo: XML 1.0 document text, ASCII text
Payload: gzip compressed data, from Unix
Scripts: gzip compressed data, from Unix

Repeat . . .

# mv Payload Payload.gz
# gunzip Payload.gz
# cpio -dv < Payload
.
./IntelPowerGadget.framework
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Headers
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/IntelPowerGadget
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Resources
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions/A

./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions/A/IntelPowerGadget
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions/A/Resources
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
./IntelPowerGadget.framework/Versions/Current
180 blocks


K, let's put that with the other Frameworks

# sudo pax -pe -rw IntelPowerGadget.framework /Library/Frameworks

Now for the app

# cd ..
# cd Intel\ Power\ Gadget\ Application.pkg/

Looks familiar

# file *
Bom: Mac OS X bill of materials (BOM) file
PackageInfo: XML 1.0 document text, ASCII text
Payload: gzip compressed data, from Unix
Scripts: gzip compressed data, from Unix

One more time

# mv Payload Payload.gz
# gunzip Payload.gz

# cd Intel\ Power\ Gadget/

# ls -1
Intel(R) Power Gadget.app/
PowerLog*
Read Me.html
Uninstaller.pkg

Now we can "install" the app

# pax -pe -rw Intel\(R\)\ Power\ Gadget.app/ /Applications


At this point we should just be able the launch the app by double-clicking

I am using an i7 5820K on a Gigabyte X99 UD4 board, and my IA also shows onl IA: 0.00 W. Can anyone help with why that is not showing any value? Thanks in advance.
 
Build 1
Z390 AORUS MASTER |  i9 9900K |  Radeon Nitro+ RX 5700 XT 8GB
I'm running i7-5820K on ASUS X99-S mobo,
but the Intel Power Gadget App launches, keeps refreshing values, but only shows 0.0 values,
I copied the files properly into
System/Library/Extensions
System/Library/Frameworks
and /Applications
any idea howto fix that?
 
Thank you this is great! Running a miner on my customac and this is just what I needed.
