Is iStat menu6 not working on the 2020 iMac?

Installed iStat menu on a 2020 iMac but it does not show CPU & GPU temps. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your email.

We are currently working on adding support for the new iMac's. Unfortunately we do not have an ETA of when the update will be available at the moment.

Kind regards,
Bjango Support

FYI, looks like there is a beta for iStat 6 for the 2020 iMac:

We do have a beta available with support for the new iMac’s. It can be downloaded here: https://cdn.bjango.com/files/istatmenus6/1136.zip

Let me know if anyone tries it! WOn't be back to my iMac till tomorrow.

Installed the Beta...see sensors and fan, now. HOPE it's reading wrong, my iMac is just sitting there doing nothing and it's HOT!

Numbers seem a bit inconsistent to me. That's why its beta software I guess.

What is it currently doing? It's using a lot of power at 96W for sitting idly. I see you have the 10910 where I have the 10700K, but I am only using about 35W-40W of power at idle and running about 10 degrees cooler.

Only thing I had open was Safari. CPU display was at bottom of the icon. Exhaust out of fan didn't feel any hotter than it ever does. I, several days ago, did some benchmarks and of course it got really hot, but today, nothing but Safari...

It's in fahrenheit ....

on a side note ... does it matter if you buy off app store or website? Was looking into this for awhile now.

This is what my i9 is using right now running Windows in parallels and safari outlook, Microsoft word and on a teams video call.
