Re: Temp sensor value differs between Macs Fan Control and Temp

Yes, as to who is right… The behavior of the system combined with logic and common sense seems to favor the temperature monitor… But it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong!

Here is technical info from the about dialog as requested.

2009-2012 Mac Pro CPU core temps

Love this little app and its getting better all the time. My issue at this point is the CPU A and CPU B "core from PCECI" temps do not agree with the values displayed by Temperature Monitor. This is driving the BoostA and BoostB fans to high speeds. Mac Pro - Early 2009 - 2 x 2.66 GHz Quad...

Re: CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

OK, here is something else new. I restarted MFC after the reboot and about 30 minutes of use. It is obvious in the attached screenshot of Temperature Monitor where I started it. All fans reached maximum RPM and cooled the system down fairly quickly. This is good. However, look at the top 3 lines, th...

Re: CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

I was not on the system yesterday and I have new symptoms this morning. The MFC icon was still in the menu bar, but I got a spinning beach ball when I moused over it and tried to bring up the window. (Got the beach ball before clicking the icon.) Looked at activity monitor and there were over 200 MF...

Re: CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

When I started it at 5:00 pm yesterday, it used 22.3 MB Real memory and used 2.3-3.7 %CPU. At 8:30 am, it is now at 451.5 MB Real memory and 7.3-71.1 %CPU. (That is not a typo, that was a 71.1% reading.) About half of the Activity Monitor readings are around 7 %. About 1 out of 5 in the 25% category...

Re: CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

Some time over the weekend, MacsFanControl again dropped out of the menu bar and 5 of the 6 threads quit. I killed the remaining thread and restarted the application and it is running again. It just seems to partially quit after 2-3 days of running on my system. I do get some messages in console whe...

Re: CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

I am indeed aware that VM is not a real issue; UNTIL is reaches the point where the sum of all of the VM sizes exceeds the free space on the start-up drive where the swap file is located. When that happens the OS sends messages that VM has exceeded allowable amounts and to force-quit applications. I...

CPU/MEM Usage and not displaying in menu bar issue

I have a MacPro with dual quad-core processors and I was running 6 processor intensive jobs simultaneously. After 45 minutes the system locked. I downloaded a temperature monitor application and saw that several locations were in the 70 - 80 degrees C range. Knowing that commercial semiconductor par...
