A pair of macOS kernel extensions for AMD Zen processors providing CPU power management and sensor monitoring (temperature, energy, frequency), plus a VirtualSMC plugin to expose readings to apps like iStat. It includes AMD Power Gadget for visualization and supports PState editing and manual speed switching.

Use cases

  • monitor AMD Ryzen CPU temperature on a Hackintosh
  • enable power management for AMD processors in macOS
  • display AMD CPU sensor data in iStat via VirtualSMC
  • edit CPU PStates on macOS
  • manually switch processor speed on AMD Zen
  • view CPU power and frequency with AMD Power Gadget

When to choose

  • running macOS on AMD Ryzen hardware (Hackintosh) and needing CPU power management
  • wanting AMD CPU temperature, energy, and frequency readings in macOS apps
  • needing PState control for AMD Zen processors on macOS

When to avoid

  • running macOS on Intel processors
  • using Linux or Windows instead of macOS
  • needing a fully polished, guaranteed-stable solution without EFI backups
