Temperature Sensor Problem In New Imac Intel?

[cliffrouse11bas]

Is anyone else having this problem. None of my Heat Widgets are working. Thanks

I dont have a iMac Duo. But its most likely because the new imac uses a different sensor and the software you are using doesn't know how to read it. Im sure sooner or later there will be an update though.


Edit::
Try typing this into terminal, it will show you temp readouts

#!/bin/bash
#
# TP Probe v.0.2 alpha

#
# displays (somewhat accurate) hardware sensor readouts on some current macs.
#
# seems to work on new Powerbooks, ibooks, and PowerMacs
# does NOT seems to work on G4 Powermacs, or G4 Titanium Powerbooks

The above script returned nothing on my intel imac

Where are you getting the temp widgets from ? I'll try them then.

Here are some pretty good temp programs and widgets.
