CPU Heatsink Temperature and Ambient Temperature

[Asher-]

Really appreciate all the work that has gone into this and other code that you have made available!

I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but am at a bit of an impasse.

I'm working with an Asus Z10PA-D8 + Dual X5-2683v4. I've compiled the latest FakeSMC and plugins, and most things seem to be in working order. I have XCPM working, AppleLPC loads, working Turbo via SSDT.

The one exception is that two sensors are reporting very high temperatures that are not in line either with the other sensors or with observed temperatures:

• The CPU Heatsink Temperature
• The Ambient Temperature

Both are reporting around 105 degrees C. Core temperatures all remain around 40-60 degrees C.

I am experiencing occasional sudden freezes (1-3 times in a 24 hour period), which I suspect might be related to this. Is that the case? Or is the sensor report, if incorrect, largely cosmetic?

I have verified my cpu fans. They are definitely seated properly with an appropriate amount of thermal paste.

I suspect that the issue may be that the motherboard does not have sensors corresponding to the two identities. No sensor data appears in the BIOS that corresponds to heatsink or ambient temperature, and BIOS temperatures correspond to expected core temperatures.

I have also noticed that Activity Monitor reports 16TB wired memory rather than 16GB wired (128GB total). I am not sure if this is a cosmetic issue (the same appears via top). Does this have any relation to the SMC?

Any thoughts about how to approach this? What information could I provide that would be useful?

Thanks,
Asher

Hi How did you solve your problem?

The crashes were due to APLM. Disabling all forms of APLM fixed them.
