Portuguese (Portugal) (thanks to AdamModus).Portuguese (Brazil) (thanks to marcelochaves95 and pedroserigatto).中文 (简体) (thanks to chenguokai and Tai-Zhou).Disabling these modules could reduce CPU usage and power efficiency by up to 50% in some cases. The most inefficient modules are Sensors and Bluetooth. So, if you want to reduce energy impact from the Stats you need to disable some Stats modules. But reading some data periodically is not a cheap task. Stats tries to be efficient as it's possible. How to reduce energy impact or CPU usage of Stats? There is no way to obtain a CPU frequency on Apple silicon macs. That’s one of the great things about iStat Menus in the first place, and Weather is. It allows receiving the CPU frequency from the IPG driver. M1 M1 Pro M1 Max Apple Silicon macOS Ventura macOS Monterey macOS Big Sur MacBook Pro MacBook Air iMac. You need to have installed Intel Power Gadget (IPG) for that. The CPU frequency is available only on Intel-based macs. If you don't see sensors on another mac, please open an issue for that. It's only valid for M1 Apple Silicon macs. You can enable it in the Sensors module settings with the option HID sensors. It's disabled by default because it consumes a lot of CPU and energy. Sensors data on the first generation of M1 mac could be obtained only from HID services. Drag the icon to the desired position on the menu bar.To change the order of any menu bar icon - macOS Mojave (version 10.14) and up. MacOS decides the order of the menu bar items not Stats - it may change after the first reboot after installing Stats. Sensors information (Temperature/Voltage/Power)įAQs How do you change the order of the menu bar icons?.Stats is an application that allows you to monitor your macOS system. On my 4GHz iMac 5K (late 2015), I immediately saw my CPU frequency bouncing around between 3 and 4GHz, making my life that little bit more complete.Stats is currently supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and higher. When it comes back up, you’ll find the new CPU frequency line as shown in the first screenshot. iStat Menus covers a huge range of stats, including a CPU monitor, GPU, memory, network usage, disk usage, disk activity, date & time, battery and more. I didn’t get a screenshot when I installed it, but it will appear in the area indicated in the screenshot. The most powerful system monitoring app for macOS, right in your menubar. After you install it, however, you also need to OK it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Alternatively, download the iStat Menus app to monitor your Macs stats, including CPU temperature. The first thing you need to do to enable CPU frequency monitoring on your Mac is to download the Intel Power Gadget and install it. This command doesnt work with M1-based Macs. Enabling iStat Menus CPU Frequency Monitoring ![]() By contrast, my 16 inch MBP easily reaches 45 degrees doing very little, and spikes to 60 with external monitors doing nothing. I’m in that camp, and if you’re reading this, you probably are, too. The latest iStat Menus has temperature readings for M1 macs now My M1 Mac mini mostly hovers around 23 degrees (C), reaching 37 at high workloads. but I’m focusing on iStat Menus with this piece.įor the vast majority of users, there’s little need to enable CPU frequency monitoring unless you just want to. There are all kinds of things you can do with it. The Intel Power Gadget is software that sits deep in macOS (or Windows and Linux) to report on everything your CPU is doing. Apple takes advantage of this with Macs (and iOS devices, but that’s a separate topic) in order to save power and reduce heat. Modern CPUs vary their frequency according to their device’s needs at the moment. iStat Menus CPU Frequency Monitoring Intel CPU Frequency Monitoring ![]() ![]() There are a couple of steps you have to take to do it, but they’re easy. The app has been updated recently to include all the sensors for the new M1 Max and Pro laptops. Bjango’s iStat Menus can take advantage of Intel software that can monitor your CPU frequency. It’s hard to make a list like this without including iStat Menus. ![]()
