Looking to see if there is kext out for my gpu the 580 temp sensers yet? and if so where can I get them I have the HWmontior but it shows everything else but gpu. because the gpu is getting warm. and the fans are not on. and they do work because there on when i first boot up. So dont understand Thanks

You want to use HWmonitorSMC2 and turn on "IOKit monitoring for GPU" in the settings.
 
Now have a question Can you change the fan speeds with this? Im looking to turn them up. I dont want them to turn off.

Hi , I have the same problem about GPU temps.
I've added SMCPRocessor and SMCSuperIO but nothing changes.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks :)

Newer AMD cards don’t require a kext to read sensors. It is built into the driver and can be accessed via command line. Only some apps are able to read the temps using this method. HWMonitorSMC2 can do this. You need to enable the option in the preferences to enable this feature.

Thanks. Of course I flagged Use IOKIT... in HWMonitorSMC2 but it doesn't work.
So do I have to remove some kexts?
I really need to read GPU temperature :/
Can you tell me how to access via command line?
I have iStat Menus too but no gpu temperature either :\

edit: I'm looking around for terminal commands but I don't think it's gonna work if it doesn't through the other methods...

edit2: I've tried this one but it doesn't work.. everything is 0
Code:
while sleep 1; do clear;ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock'; done

edit3: I'm gonna try RadeonMonitor.kext and see what happens-> Nothing, it doesn't work with VirtualSMC I think :(
Any idea?

I am not sure. That code snippet works for me, but I am using a Vega card. hopefully someone with a newer radeon like you will chime in.
