Does not show temperature of MBA M2 cores

Does not show temperature of M2 cores and the average temperature is different than in TG Pro.

As another (alternative) datapoint. The only anomalous readings I see with v1.7.0 are for PMU tdev1, PMU2 TR1d and PMU2 TR3d, which show as "--" in the menubar list and around -1.7 deg on the chart. All the other sensor readings look sane, though I've not compared with any other app

Note: This is still not fixed in version 1.7.1 (110).

I just published version 1.8.0 which should provide more accurate temperature readings:
https://github.com/macmade/Hot/releases/tag/1.8.0

I'm closing this for now, feel free to reopen it if you still have issues with the new version.

Thanks, now it shows core temperature correctly. However, for some reason the Thermal Pressure is always Nominal even when the CPU starts throttling.

P.S. True, I had to find such a file to find out what is what. It would be good if it was implemented here.

Yes, I'll try to implement a description for keys.

How do you know your CPU is throttling if pressure is reported as nominal?

Several times in a row I ran a heavy load on the CPU and the first few times it stayed at 108°C and then it dropped to 80°С and all subsequent times it was 80°С. When I let it rest and ran the same thing, it was 108°C again.

You can simulate thermal pressure with the following command:

sudo thermal simulate cpu heavy

Hot should report it.

Tried it, it works like this. And how to stop this simulation? :)

I think you’ll have to reboot.
