I haven't had any issues with the fan on my Vega.

The behavior on my Sapphire RX 580 has been consistent without regard to update. The fans only spin up when the CPU temp reaches 48c and then stops when the temp drops to 43c. When running Unigene Valley, the fans run constantly with temp at 51c. I cannot hear the fans spinning unless I put my ear next to the fans.

@pastrychef - I upgraded to the last set of kexts and upgraded to 10.14.4 successfully however I noticed the fans of AMD R580 8GB do not spin constantly which means that every now and then, they spin fast for 20secs which frankly is a bit annoying.
I did not observe this behaviour when I was on 10.14.3, previous Chameleon version and previous kext versions - to refer to you version of kext package, that was v4.5.1. I see this on 4.5.3.

Am I the only one seeing (hearing to be correct) this behaviour with the AMD GPU?

Just tested 10.14.5 Beta 1 on one of my hacks, and yes, it works! I deleted the Vega 64 PPTable injection driver that I put in my config.plist, and yes, it works! My Vega 64 works better than ever before, and the fans work better than I ever got them to work with VGTab.

I'm testing on the special iMac19,x build of macOS 10.14.4 and CPU still shows as "unknown".

Someone said that the real iMac19,1 uses i9-9900KF which I believe is the version of the 9900 that doesn't have IGPU so that may explain why a normal 9900K is still identified as "unknown".

Interesting. I wonder since they're using the KF model, there will be no need to enable iGPU and operate in headless mode if using i9-9900K paired with a Vega? I wonder if someone has an ioreg dump of one of these new iMacs floating around to check.

I've been following the progress of the Radeon VII early adaptors and it seems they are achieving great FCPX performance without the assistance of IGPU...
 
No sound after sleep following 10.14.4 update

Immediately after the 10.14.4 update, my sound stopped working after waking from sleep. If I restart, the sound works fine again until it goes to sleep. After waking from sleep, all the output devices still show up as normal, but no sound.

I have made no changes (other than the 10.14.4 update). Any suggestions?

Try changing audio-id to 1 to see if it makes a difference.

I investigated a bit and I got the following GPU temperature vs fan behaviour - not entirely wrong but would like the fan to run maybe at lower speed to avoid the bump of speed which becomes very audible.

Fan not running:
Code: 
ioreg -l | grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock';
"Fan Speed(%)"=0
"Core Clock(MHz)"=1340
"Memory Clock(MHz)"=2000
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=0
"Temperature(C)"=49


Temperature increases - Fan still not running:
Code: 
ioreg -l | grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock';
"Fan Speed(%)"=0
"Core Clock(MHz)"=1340
"Memory Clock(MHz)"=2000
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=0
"Temperature(C)"=57


Temperature reached 58 and triggered the fan:
Code: 
ioreg -l | grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock';
"Fan Speed(%)"=56
"Core Clock(MHz)"=1340
"Memory Clock(MHz)"=2000
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=1834
"Temperature(C)"=58

Fan does it job - temperature comes back down:
Code: 
ioreg -l | grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock';
"Fan Speed(%)"=56
"Core Clock(MHz)"=1340
"Memory Clock(MHz)"=2000
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=2256
"Temperature(C)"=51

Temperature reaches 50 and fan stops:
Code: 
ioreg -l | grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock';
"Fan Speed(%)"=0
"Core Clock(MHz)"=1340
"Memory Clock(MHz)"=2000
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=0
"Temperature(C)"=50

I am just wondering whether there is a way to force the GPU fan to run at lower speed like 30% speed constantly to avoid the on/off under this short amplitude of temperature.

I don't know of a way to manipulate the fan on any video cards other than the Vega cards.
