* `AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext` for all power management features. This kext is also required if you would like to use **AMD Power Gadget**.
* `SMCAMDProcessor.kext` to publish readings to [VirtualSMC](https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC), which enables macOS applications like iStat to display sensor data. This kext depends on `AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext` to collect sensor data, thus must be loaded after.

1. Download the kext(s) and application from [Release](https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases) page
2. Add `AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext` to kext folder of your bootloader.
3. Edit your bootloader's config file to make sure the kext is enabled.
4. If you're using [VirtualSMC](https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC) you can also load `SMCAMDProcessor.kext` to publish sensor data.
5. Bootloaders like `OpenCore` will link each kext in the order they present in config file, so make sure `AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext` comes before `SMCAMDProcessor.kext` as it serves as a dependency.
1. Download the kext(s) and application from [Release](https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases) page.
* Optionally, you can instead download the latest(probably unstable) build from [Github Action](https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/actions).
3. Add `AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext` to kext folder of your bootloader.
4. Edit your bootloader's config file to make sure the kext is enabled.
