Release Notes
If you are unlocking Hardware Monitor for full usage, entering a registration key while the Hardware Monitor Widget is already running, the widget cannot immediately detect the new key. You will have to relaunch the widget or Dashboard to let it be unlocked, too. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to log out from Mac OS X and then to log in again.
After waking from sleep mode, the Main Logic Board Air Inlet sensor of some Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core systems shows no or negative readings: When a dual core PowerMac G5 wakes from sleep mode, the temperature reading of the air inlet sensor may show an invalid reading.
Workaround: This is a known defect in specific versions of Mac OS X Tiger. This specific sensor is not correctly woken up by the operating system. We have made Apple aware of this problem and hope they will resolve it in future versions of Mac OS X. In the meantime, you can restart the computer to reset the sensor hardware, or disable display of this sensor in the preferences of the widget.
Computers of the model series "iMac (Late 2006)" may show unusually high readings for the CPU A Current Sensor: When you are using an Apple iMac with model identification "iMac5,1", the values displayed for the current (amperage) sensor of the CPU appear to be too high and inconsistent with CPU power readings.
Workaround: This is a known problem with the System Management Controller (SMC) used in this particular model series. (Other iMac series are not affected by this problem.) It is unknown if Apple will release an SMC firmware update to fix this problem.
