Wrong temperature shown on 2.1.0 #41

Closed yeSpud closed 4 years ago

There are 2 different temperatures being shown for the CPU.

It should be noted before updating to version 2.1.0 smcFanControl and Fanny showed the same temperature for the CPU. After updating Fanny shows different, higher temperatures.

I don't think these temperatures are possible (the fan wasn't even ramping up)

hot

v2.1.0 now calculates the CPU and GPU temperature as an average from know sensors. This was done to avoid Fanny not working on devices that did not have the certain sensor Fanny was previously using. https://github.com/DanielStormApps/SMC/blob/dab934613d562d087231c21afbcbabc14ba0d24e/smc/SMC/Hardware/SMC%2BCPU.swift#L24

With that said though those temperatures do seem high in your second message. I don’t have anything to compare them to so I’m unsure though. It could be an issue with one of the sensors on your machine giving an abnormal reading, that SMC should filter out if that’s the case.

I’ll spin up a small SMC app that’ll display the temperatures of each sensor it’s reading for you to run on your machine so that I can get a clearer picture. Will attach the SMC app to this thread once it’s ready and let you know.
