ThermographX monitors the various temperature sensors inside your modern Macintosh G4 or G5.

Note: Motorola's MPC7450CE/D Rev 5 errata indicates "The thermal assist unit (TAU) is no longer supported on the MPC7450, MPC7451, or MPC7441.". Because of this, you will not be able to measure the junction temperature on any system with these processors. At current, this includes the "Gigabit" PowerBook G4 and the "2001 Quicksilver" G4's.

Mac OS X 10.3.5 eliminates compatibility with some older Mac's, like the G4 Cube. I'm investigating if there is a workaround.

Here are some key features of "ThermographX":
Records maximum and minimum temperatures.
Shows temperature records over time, using a zoomable display so you can analyze short-term or long-term.
Shows individual sensor temperatures on models that have them.

What's New:
Added support for dual-core G5's.
Fixed some sensor readings on older G5's.
Added measurements for iMac G5's with iSight.
Updated user measurements for all other models.

Requirements:
ThermographX compatibility is still being determined. So far, it is known to provide accurate sensor readings on these models:
12" & 17" PowerBook G4.
"Aluminum" 15" PowerBook G4.
"Mirror Door" G4.
Power Macintosh G5.
