Temperature Gauge App Reviews

I love this little App, I use it often to diagnose customer’s Mac’s, does exactly what it says, A++++

The bar-graph does not update neither do the numbers in the menu bar. The only thing that updates every second are the max temps (hard to see) and the cpu average (top of the window) I tried the 4.1 and 4.7 versions — they both do the same — I think it’s either buggy, or faulty design. Wish I could get my money back. Also, there are no explanations for the sensor names — what is PECI GPU, and how does it differ from GPU diode? Why is it always hotter than the GPU diode?

Seen other apps that simply give you a ball park figure. This app pulls info off the motherboard diodes and gives you an up to date and highly accurate reading! You can’t go wrong!

I can’t rate it any more than 2 stars if it freezed first time I ran it. I accomplished one thing which is revealing cpu temps so I gave it 2 stars but I’m not impressed so far. Clearly needs to be updated.

Mac内の各所の温度センサーとファンからの情報をミニマリズムで必要にして十分な情報量で表示してくれるのでよい。 ただ、アラートの出し方だけはよろしくない。 Alart設定をデフォルトの状態のままBOINCを走らせたらディスプレイ一面に何重にもアラートが出されて、同アプリケーションを終了させないとならないはめに陥った。 Alertはオフに。 しきい値越えのたびに無思慮に追加していく振る舞いはNG。アラートを表示していたら、いったん消して再表示すべきだ。 Mountain LionのNotification機能を実装すれば、このようなアラートのよろしくない振る舞いも整理されるとは思う。 I ran BOINC as the state of the default by Alart setting. notification was displayed to several folds all over the display. When do not terminate the application, there is not it; fell into it to have it. The behavior that it is indiscreet and adds whenever I exceed the threshold is NG. I put it out once and should display it again if you display notification.

not updating on macbook air 2013 haswell core

upgrade for macbook pro early 2015

All sensors are shown for new 2014 MBA - great. All is nice, my config is quite low: 1,4-2,9 i5-4620U and 4GB RAM, but fast SSD 800MB/s-700MB/s R/W. So how is it that when monitoring set to 1s and logging to CSV, then I see that my MAC start to ‘freeze’ ? Of course - SMC reset - reboot, since then it seems that it is ok (OS X 10.9.7). But I did not set it again to monitor in 1s threshold :(. I really do hope that this application will have upgrades (4.1- 4.9) for free and 5.0 will be paid if introducing new features or optimisations. In general, 4/5 very nice app but still needs ironing-out bugs. UPDATE: 4.6.2 , it seems that this works now! After upgrade it looks like not paid app? I hope I’ll find time to sort it out.

good program, but no management coolers and its frustrating

Yeah this puppy’s a real cash dump down the drain. I bought it assuming it would help keep my computer cooler, because i noticed it was hot, but instead I spent 20 american dollars on an app to tell me when my computers hot when my hand can do just as effective of a job. it does absolutely jack when your computer is hot. would recommend to a friend if I wanted to see my friend waste 20 dollars.

Very good app does what is said it is to do have to see how the update goes but keep up the good work on apps.

When you set the prefrence to farenheight, close out of the app and go back into it its back at celcius. Whwen you press dont rate the app the app quits.

I agree with previous posts about the price point, but it works very well. Another post read that you can’t change from Celsius, but that isn’t so. Just control right click and change the preferences. It’s keeping my 15’’ rMBP 2.6 nice and cool. Coming from a Win background, would be cool if Apple incuded such a widget… In case I overlooked it.

I have been having heat problems with my early 2011 macbook pro since upgrading to OS X Mavericks, and needed a quick and reliable way to watch the temperatures from multiple sensors in order to troubleshoot the problem. This tool works as advertised and was really helpful in solving my issue. I will continue to use this tool, and really like how it works and all the options.

I run the app on startup (MacBook Pro) and it displays the info I want. I also have smcFanControl but prefer Temperature Gauge if the temp/rpm info is all I need to know. If this app had the option to control fan rpm, it would be just about perfect (the default fan controller seems to take a while to react to hot temps — like 30 secs to a minute, and the fans spool up slowly). Actually, it would be nice to have an app that combined the detailed info (temps of each sensor and component) of Temperature Gauge with the fan control profile ability of smcFanControl. I use both apps and go back and forth depending on the tasks at hand.

No, you obviously cannot control fan speed, Apple wouldn’t allow that. But it monitors every possible sensor in a well-designed layout, with the ability to customize features to your preference: including how often it checks temp, the threshold at what temp app alerts you, and other functional adjustments. An easy $5 bucks to maintain the health of your CPU/Computer and increase its longevity. Most negative comments here are from people that don’t know what they’re doing, or complaining about a “missing feature” that is actually there, plain as day. Memory, CPU, Battery and other stuff is monitored in an easy and intuitive layout. It has a few quirks, but it’s no big deal, and a steal at $5 bucks.

First of all the description claim this app gives fan control but that is not the case it only allows you to monitor it to control it you need to spend another $4.99 to upgrade to the pro version I think the description needs to be changed and I will be filing a complaint to Apple that this app is being sold under false pretenses, I for one would like a refund as I did not get what weas advertised.

I use Handbrake on my new iMac i7 to rip Blu Rays, and Handbrake really makes the CPU cores heat up, and heat up very quickly. I have faith in my Mac, but this nifty app gives me a little more peace of mind because I can actually watch the rpms of the fans increase as the heat ticks upward, and decrease as the heat drops a few notches. It takes awhile to rip a two hour Blu Ray, so this back and forth with the temp and fans gives me some comfort that everything is working properly. My only criticism is the warning that appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen. It disappears quickly, and I’m unable to read the entire message. I don’t know if that’s a Mac warning or a Temperature Gauge warning and/or message, but it would be nice to be able to read the whole thing.

Seems like a great app. Does what is says and has decent settings. What more is there to say other than I wish the fan upgrade was included. Oh well, Apple has the fans set the way they need to be, just want to have the option to see the max fan speed similar to the way they have max temperature. Oh well, I guess another $5 isn’t exactly breaking the bank if you bought a Mac over a Windows PC with similar hardware.

Both your vehicle, as cheap or expensive as it is, and your mac, as cheap or expensive as it is, are complex machines. We would expect that there aren’t any problems, but the app is great investment to alert you early in an unexpected situation. Prevent downtime and costly repairs, buy this app and let it hangout in your menu bar. Plus, it just looks cool. Very intuitive and actually quite impressive that Apple has built in so many sensors that the app can utilize.
