"Expansion Slots" sensor not showing up

Post by kstheory »

Both iStatPro and HardwareMonitor report a sensor on my machine which they label as "Expansion Slots".

Based on a comparison with what HardwareMonitor is reporting and what appears in the technical data from MFC (below), I think this is the unnamed sensor TS0C. It would be great if MFC could label it and report it. My understanding based on a discussion with the developer of another fan control application, there is a sensor for the LM94 hardware control chip on the MacPro 1,1 logic board. This chip monitors other temperatures, sets the fan, as well as reports its own temperature. Based on an image of the board, it appears this chip is located between PCI expansion slots 1 and 2. Perhaps this is the origin of the label "Expansion Slots" used in iStat and HM.

Since my most temp-sensitive piece of hardware is my GPU, which engages its thermal cutoff too easily, I'd love to run fans off the sensor closest to the GPU if the GPU's actual temperature isn't accessible to MFC.

Thanks.
