Yeah, it seems the latest multibeast does not install HW Monitor.app

Old version on a machine showed temp on Northbridge as 571 fahrenheit.
This value jumped to other sensors on other installation.

The new version is improvement. mb 5.2
Ambient is 261.

Despite having one strange reading all other values are correct.
Very useful. Thanks !

I like the new additions.

Need facksmc Z9PE-D8 WS, in the future.

In HWMonitor, what do the Power Supply 1 - 5 read?

Working quite well on my Dell XPS 8300 i7, all temps, fans and volts look good except for Ambient and Northbridge which show 128 and 191 degrees Celsius, which is rather high. Probably need a modified plugin, but I am not sure what or how to do it.

**** me this community never ceases to amaze me. Great job fellas!

Let me begin with "Hi I'm a noob" statement. ..."seat's taken" ...hehe

I've been doing a lot of reading lately on water coolers vs stock coolers vs air coolers, etc. There are push and pull configurations and many other combinations depending on case, radiator and if overclocking is a must. I've even seen custom water coolers that cost as much as my CPU its self (insert cha-ching sound). It seems that, like my self, several people use the Corsair H60 to cool their CPUs.

My set-up:

- 10.8.2
- Current Multibeast FakeSMCs / HWMonitor (5.2.1)
- GA-Z77n-Wifi
- HD4000
- 450W SFX Silverstone
- i7 3770 (no overclock)
- Corsair H60, radiator at bottom of case cooled via x1 140mm Akasa Fan (very high static pressure + 110 CFM) - pushing cooler air from outside case into radiator and through the computer
- Silverstone FT03 Mini Case - modded several cables to clear up space and added a silent 60mm fan to move air across the Z77 chipset (which dropped my "northbridge" temp by 10 degrees )

My temps in HWMonitor at idle (23C room temp):

Core 1: 28-35C
Core 2: 28-35C
Core 3: 28-35C
Core 4: 28-35C
CPU Heatsink: 25-30C
Northbridge: 36-38C
HD temp: 26-28C

*temps are almost the same as idle when running 16 tracks in Logic Pro and using ReWire to Reason 5 with multiple midi tracks

My temps in HWMonitor streaming 1080p video (23C room temp):

Core 1: 40-52C
Core 2: 40-52C
Core 3: 40-52C
Core 4: 40-52C
CPU Heatsink: 41-43C
Northbridge: 38-39C
HD temp: 26-28C

My temps in HWMonitor full load (XMP disabled, running 1333Hz ram):

Core 1: 75-90C
Core 2: 75-90C
Core 3: 75-90C
Core 4: 75-90C
CPU Heatsink: 77-82C
Northbridge: 38-42C
HD temp: 26-31C

When I enable XMP in BIOS (1600Hz ram) and run a full load test my CPU temps immediately jump up to the 95-96C mark - which by the way scared the bejesus out of me and I cancelled the program.

This raised a few questions:
- Is HWMonitor completely accurate?
- Does the H60 not provide enough cooling power at high load?
- Are the Ivy Bridges just that hot? (which i've heard they are, but wow)
- Since the radiator is mounted on the bottom of the case and feeding water vertically to cpu block, would that cause the inefficiency?
- Why are core temps so much higher then the CPU heatsink? (seems to be common)

What are your Ivy Bridge temps in HWMonitor and what are your configurations?

Hey, I now install FakeSMC, HWMonitor and hardware plugins. Then I install iStateMenu and it goes perfectly. After 2 hours, the computer freeze and I had to turn it off (hardkill)...
Now whenever I start Mac OSX it freeze after 3sec.
I can see for 3 sec some Apps...
What can I do?
sorry for my bad english...
