Hackintosh GPU Temperature Monitoring Fix
Geared Towards Intermediate and Expert Users
If your Hackintosh with a GTX 780 is not displaying GPU temperatures, this guide will help you address the monitoring issue.
- Update Hardware Monitoring Kexts: Ensure that HWMonitor and associated kexts like FakeSMC or VirtualSMC and their plugins are up-to-date.
- Use Specialized Monitoring Tools: Install iStat Menus or HWMonitor specifically designed for Hackintosh systems to see if they can access GPU sensor data.
- Engage with Communities: Search through forums like Tonymacx86 or the Hackintosh subreddit for posts related to GPU temperature monitoring with a GTX 780.
- Custom SSDTs: Investigate whether creating a custom SSDT for your GPU can enable temperature monitoring. This may require assistance from someone with advanced Hackintosh experience.
- Explore Alternative Tools: Try different hardware monitoring tools available for macOS to find one that supports your GPU.
- AirDrop Compatibility: Understand that some Intel Wi-Fi cards do not support AirDrop due to chipset limitations. A Broadcom Wi-Fi card is usually recommended for full functionality.
Perfection in a Hackintosh build often requires patience and a willingness to trial different solutions. Community forums can be an invaluable resource during this process.

What's working: BLUETOOTH, WIFI, ETHERNET, IMESSAGE, App Store, iCloud, Safari, Audio, CPU TEMPS/MONITORING, (HANDLES PHOTOSHOP LIKE A DREAM)
What isn't working: AIRDROP (LIMITATION OF MY HARDWARE MOST LIKELY) ITS THERE BUT DOESN'T CONNECT, JUST SAYS "WAITING". GPU TEMPS, ANYTHING ELSE I HAVEN'T COME ACROSS AS YET.
EVERYTHING SEEMINGLY WORKS AND I COULD DAILY DRIVE THIS BUT THE PERFECTIONIST IN ME WANTS TO FIX IT COMPLETELY. CANT GET THE GPU TEMPERATURE TO BE RECOGNIZED. ANY HELP/GUIDANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I AM STILL QUITE NEW TO THE WORLD OF HACKINTOSHING.
