Intel Power Gadget (Mac) causes kernel panic

TomMac — Tue, 12 May 2020 19:09:58 GMT

I tried to use Intel Power Gadget on my iMac i7 7700K/4.2GHZ (OS 10.15.4) and when double clicking the icon or starting power log from terminal, the system immediately crashes and reboots.

Is there any solution for that?

Sorry, Apple has requested all questions regarding their platform be directed to apple support.

Hi, this sounds like an answer of a bot...

Anyway, it is not an Apple related question, it's a question related to Intel Software (Intel Power Gadget) and Intel Hardware (i7 7700k processor).

Apple does not support software made by intel.

Nope, not a bot. And, I am only the messenger here. Apple has made this request, hardware or software.

Apple does not have to request anything from anybody exept, perhaps, their own employees, so if you don't have a helpfull answer, it would be better to write nothing.

It's completely clear, that Apple Support will not and can not help in this question.

Just trying to help you. If you do not want to contact apple for support with this kernal panic, the only other thing I can do is point you here:

It appears you're using version 3.6.0, please try upgrading to the latest (3.7.0):

Oh ok, 3.7.0 is working, thank you very much and sorry, I don't know why I grabed an old version.
