Very Low Geek Bench, CPU running at half speed?

I just finished setting up my first hackintosh using the components listed below:

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V
Processor: Intel Core-i7 2700K
Video Card: ASUS GTX 660 Ti
Memory: 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600Mhz
Hard Drive 1: Samsung 830 SSD 128GB
Hard Drive 2: Western Digital Blue 1TB
Optical Drive: ASUS Blu-Ray Burner

I ran geek bench after I finished installing everything and got a score of 5600. This is around half of what I should be getting so I'm assuming my CPU isn't throttling correctly. The following are what I installed with multibeast:

UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
ALC892 audio (without DSDT)
TRIM Enabler --> 10.8.1+ TRIM Patch
System --> Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement --> OS X 10.8.x
Bootloaders --> Chimera v1.11.1 r1394
Customization --> Boot Options --> GraphicsEnabler=No
SSDT Options --> Sandy Bridge Core i5 / i7 Overclocked

I'm thinking the patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement or the SSDT option are screwing something up. I had the system overclocked to 4.0Ghz so I used the overclocked SSDT. Are there known issues with this?

Also, I installed iStat Pro because I wanted to monitor my temps. It only shows the temp for one hard drive and nothing else. Does iStat Pro not work with a hackintosh? If this is the case, does anybody know of any hardware monitor program that would work?

If anybody has any suggestions or knows what might be causing these issues I'd really appreciated any advice. Thanks

I'm not really sure what to say about your AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and/or SSDT issue. I myself don't use them because I'm running ivy bridge. But in regards to your temps not reporting, make sure you install FakeSMC and its hardware plugins so that iStatPro can read all the sensors.

Thanks for this advice. I thought FakeSMC was installed by default when I selected "UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation" but I guess it wasn't. I ran multibeast again selecting just the options you mentioned and now iStat Pro is correctly reporting all my temps .


Also, I managed to get my processor running at its full speed by disabling speedstep in the bios and installing NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/. Geekbench score is now 13,500. Not 100% sure how the computer is handling CPU throttling now but I was actually able to overclock my 2700k on lower voltage (4.00Ghz on 1.175v) so I don't think it really matters.

Sometimes, either knowingly or unknowingly we install many useless applications which keep running in background. Me too had done this mistake. I removed all those useless apps with Mac drive cleaning tool.

Whats mac drive cleaning tool? My Score in windows 8 is almost 12000 and on 10.8.2 is 9700. Something is not right.

If anyone can help it's appreciated

A drive cleaning tool deletes unnecessary files from your drive and creates free space which is used by the applications when launched. The list of Mac cleaners include Stellar Speed up Mac, CleanMyMac etc. you can use any one to remove duplicate files, useless apps permanently.

Thanks, I use clean my mac. I thought it was something specific. Clean my mac doesn't help. The computer boots super fast. I mean, under 2 seconds from the time the apple logo appear. It's got to be something I installed wrong
