Support for Nvidia GT 1030

[DevAndArtist]

Hi there, I think it's fair to say that some people from the CustoMac community including myself would really appreciate if someone could add support for the low budget pascal cards like the GT 1030.

My GT 1030 is from MSI and is passive cooled. Sometimes the card is getting really hot but there is no way to tell what the temperature is (pure macOS system). I only can "hope" that the card is under 80C° under stress. The latest kexts from https://github.com/kozlek/HWSensors/tree/6.26 do not support this card, or at least the support is bugged, but I cannot tell for sure.

I already tried everything:

• /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
• /S/L/E/
• /L/E/

The other sensors load from any of these folders and work just fine, but only GPU sensors are missing.

@DevAndArtist enjoy

Thank you

@dmatora thank you, but how do I get it to work? I tried to compile the project in different ways. I placed the compiled GPUSensors.kext in clover, it didn't work, then in /S/L/E/ with the same result. Actually I replaced all the kext's that I had with the compiled ones and it broke my system because the FakeSMC.kext wasn't working as expected. I was stuck for 5 hours searching for a solution until I restored a previous version of FakeSMC.kext and my system finally could boot. Lesson learned FakeSMC.kext is mandatory and should not be corrupted. That said, I'm probably doing something wrong and unable to create working kext's.

Btw. I noticed that the compiled kext had no version applied to it (so there is definitely something wrong with the way I was doing it).

@kozlek mind a new release for the current state of the project?

The release V6 26 1440 works good here High Sierra 10.13.3

@chris1111 for me HWMonitor nor iStat Menu does not recognize the temperature for my MSI GT 1030. iStat Menu however is able to display FPS for the graphics card. I hope the fix from @dmatora will finally allow me to view the current temperature.

I'm running 10.13.3 as well (not the supplemental update).

[chris1111]

I will test right now to my Zotac GeForce GT 1030 2 gig and I let you know
EDIT ***

Test and you are right not working the GPUSensors for the GT 1030 , but FakeSMC works good

@chris1111 Yeah everything works great except for the temperature for that card.

@DevAndArtist looks like you've failed to install kexts properly

@chris1111 does it now show temperature for your GT 1030?

[DevAndArtist]

@dmatora mind to put a small instruction how to compile the project properly if you start by checking out the repo?!

Edit:

Just verified with kextstat that no GPUSensors is currently loaded. (I have in /S/L/E my compiled version which is probably bugged.)

[dmatora]

@DevAndArtist just selecting "Build kexts" on tasks and pressing play button builds the kexts under the Build subdirectory

[DevAndArtist]

@dmatora did that, but it won't be signed nor does the kext has a version tag attached to it. I fail to run create installer though.

I also tried to select the GPUSensors target and enable automatic signing in Xcode 9, but this is the current version I have in /S/L/E which doesn't seem to run.

[dmatora]

@DevAndArtist you don't really need to sign it, as long as you have SIP disabled in CLOVER for kexts (CsrActiveConfig = 0x3 on RtVariables)

@dmatora
I used the Release 1440
it not showing temperature for my GT 1030
