Thanks Dave, got that working after I copied/pasted from my old ML plist.
The only issue I'm having now is an attempt at light overclocking.
I'm only trying to clock @ about 4 - 4.2GHz, but can't seem to do so successfully without dropping the frequency of my RAM.
I have 1600 MHz RAM, but it's dropping between 1066 & 1300 (I assume because of the BLCK adjustments I'm making). The second I hit 1600, my processor jumps back to 3.2GHz I also can't overclock unless Turboboost is left on.
Would anyone know the exact settings I need for the following?
-Bump up to 4.0-4.2 GHz on the processor
-Keep ram @ 1600MHz
Thanks again!
Overclocking is a mystery and every processor and motherboard is different.
Usually you have to do a trial and error until you find the perfect settings that fit you best.
The most simple overclock would be to higher the "multiplier", default 32, put it at 40 and you get 4.0Ghz.
However, overclocking doesn't work in mavericks if you don't have power management working.
After I got power management working, everything was working with turbo and now I'm running at 4.5Ghz with 36 Multiplier and 126.5 blck or something like that.
I tried to put my guide on power management on here but I got banned for that so if you want it I can send it to you privately.

PS: You also have to find the perfect vcore and dram voltage so it doesn't overheat (left on auto it will be pretty hot) and for your RAM the best would be to do a DRAM TIMING control setup in your BIOS (just google your dram timings and put them in there)
