  1. Update:

     

    Jake Lo's bootpack for E6220 is looking awesome. Will be organizing my notes soon, possibly reorganizing OP.

     

    I can see from your footer that you seem to have everything working on your XT3 - any chance you could make a guide/post what you have used? Would love to have this on my XT3 that seems to be identical to yours.

  2. Yes, that's what I meant by /E/E, sorry. I'm on Lion 10.7.4 and I have that IntelCPUMonitor next there. Maybe it's different on another version, but I don't know what you have.

     

    Please note that since I updated my EDP to rev 415 last night, my CPU readings have gone tits up again. The difference I notice in /E/E is that I now have a FakeSMC kext there, a kext I did not seem to have with rev 410.

     

    When I take that FakeSMC kext out of /E/E, T° readings are back to normal.

     

    I have looked in /E/E/ and I have the FakeSMC in there. Are you suggesting that I remove it?

  3. The best is to obtain the CPU T Junction value off the Intel web site (values differ between CPU families) and the edit the Tjmax value in /E/E/IntelCPUMonitor.kext.

     

    Eg: http://ark.intel.com/products/29761/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7500-(4M-Cache-2_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)

     

    Just did it on my T7500-based D630 (Tjmax=100) and the iStats goodies now report proper T° readings: idling in the low 40s°C and up to 70s°C on high load (similar readings in Win7).

     

    Cheers for the reply, I would assume that by /E/E/ You Mean /Extras/Extensions/. In there there is no .kext called IntelCPUMonitor.kext. Should I download a copy of it and put it in there?

     

    I have also looked on the Intel site and for my CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo T7300) and can see that the T Junction is 100.

  4. I have installed the kext and GUI listed in the second post but my cpu is still running very hot ~50 degrees before the fan kicks in to do anything about it.

     

    Also my cpu is showing up in about my mac as a 1.09 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo despite it actually being a 2.0 GHz. This is most likely because I cannot install EDP 3 (ineptitude probably). I have tried EDP 2.2 and that just creates loads of kernel panics and I end up reinstalling.
