I'm not sure if this is a processor question or a Mac question.
I have one of the last G5 iMacs, before they went to Intel CPUs. I have
the iStatPro widget and a little app called Hardware Monitor. They each
show CPU temperature. The temp indicated by iStat changes pretty slowly
and in my observation, never gets as high as the temp indicated by
Hardware Monitor, which can go from idling along at 107deg. to 168 in
less than 5 minutes.
Are these 2 indicators looking at two different sensors or what? It
seems like Hardware Monitor is looking at a sensor on the CPU and iStat
is looking at a sensor on the heat sink of the CPU.
Thanks
