Intel Power Gadget

Not sure if this has been posted before...

For those who might think it's interesting to see how much power their CPU is *actively* using, check out Intel's Power Gadget for Mac OS X.

It also has an API that can be used to log and track power usage (and a few other tricks too).

Doesn't show my Frequency scaling correctly for some reason.
But my system peaked out at 91W during Geekbench.
I do see it change from 2.2 GHz, 2.6, 2.8, 3.2 and 3.8 GHz.

Thank you!

Have you managed to get your 5960x oc'ed ? What frequency are you using at under Mac OS ? What cooler are you using ? THanks in advance!

I think I might have a heat issue and therefore wanted to research for my Latitude E6500. However when I tried to install I got error :

CPU Not Supported
Intel Power Gadget only supports 2nd generation
Interl Core processors and later.

I guess I happen to have a 1st generation Core 2 Duo

Is there an alternative app I can use?

Did you solve this? Same issue on the 6700K.
