rMBP Temperature iStat Pro

[Rolanddes]

Hi guys.

I installed iStat Pro widget to monitor my rMBP's cpu temperature. But I do not see any Cpu Core temperature. I used to use temperature monitor when I had my MBP Early 2011 and it showed 2 or 3 of all 4 CPU's temperature readings. I installed temperature monitor in my current rMBP and it did not show more readings than iStat Pro widget. What am I missing?

Thanks.

I seem to recall the same thing. However with my last two MBP that is the same readings I would get.

Intresting. This means in rMBP's we do not get to see the actual CPU core temperature but the heatsink only. That is not very good.

Forgot to mention I use Mavericks.

If I remember correctly the apps you are using have not been updated for the latest CPU`s, that`s why there is no Core temp etc

Thanks

You bet.

It runs on Mavericks as well.

I have the app itself, and I see everything just fine.

Yeah it might be. I'll try another app.

I'll give it a try then.

So it might be that I use the widget. I'll try the app instead then.

someoneoutthere, I just installed Macs Fan Control. It the exact app that I need. But after the first restart Mavericks asked me to enter my password so that MFC can do some stuff.

I wonder if this is safe? None of the temperature monitor software I previously used did that. (Other than once while being installed) Do you know what it does?

Is ok, is needed by the app to run, MFC doesn't communicate outside of checking for updates. You can also try Beta 2 off the MFC forum as plays better with 10.10 if you have.

Actually what I am afraid is that it may tweak the fan speed. I do not want to change default fan speed settings. I contacted the MFC forums and they said that it'd prompt for a password everytime I boot until I enter the password

MFC wont override Apple`s software unless you want it too, it`s just an app and can be removed easily, with no lasting effect. All fan control applications I have tried ask the same, so it`s not unusual, some even ask every boot up before starting the app. MFC runs under your user account not Root and had great credibility. Certainly for me it`s never appeared to be suspicious or malevolent and as I work in a mixed environment I run AV and MFC passes overtime.

Bottom line unless you choose "Sensor Based" or "Constant RPM value" MFC will just monitor temp and fan RPM`s "Auto" using Apple`s cooling plan.

That's great news. Thanks a lot.

I have no clue what that Macs Fan Control program is all about.

Thats because I quoted your post by mistake instead of another member. Sorry.
