How to get the HWmonitor.app on my hackintosh?

[smoresahoy]

So I need someway to track my CPU usage and temperatures and I saw that the HWmonitor is the way to go.

However, when I installed Multibeast the first time, I checked UserDSDT or DSDT-Free installation. After that I did not check FakeSMC or its plugins. In order to get the HWmonitor app should I run Multibeast and just check FakeSMC plugins, or both FakeSMC and the FakeSMC plugins?

I just want to double check so I do not get a kernel panic! Already had too many of those damn things when I was first installing.

Thanks,

Smores

You need to install FakeSMC + PlugIns for HwMonitor... You already have FakeSMC, but you want to be sure your FakeSMC and the PlugIns match.

Okay thanks! I just realized the last time I installed FakeSMC + PlugIns and got a kernel panic was because I also changed the system definition to Mac Pro 5,1. The change in system definition is what was causing the panic.
