Hi Guys,
You want better power consumption or easily overclock your cpu? This is the best way to full control over your CPU with insane speed and optimization out of the box on Skylake systems (and maybe Kaby Lake also).
What will you need? Only the latest Clover bootloader and Clover configurator app. (no extra kexts, no dsdt)
In Clover configurator edit your config.plist. Select Cpu section and clear everything (text inputs and checkboxes). Ok, settings are blank now. Then set this values:
Example for OC 4.2Ghz: 0x20002A01
Green HEX: 00 - 94
(00 is the closest value for high performance, 94 is the closest value to power saving)
Red HEX: maximum frequency (multiplier)
(I using 2A (hex) = 42 (decimal) because I need OC)
Blue HEX: minimum frequency (multiplier)
(unnecessary to modify)
So,
Green hex value symbolize your performance/eco needs 00 - 94
Red hex value mean the max decimal CPU multiplier including OC/turbo (need to convert hex to decimal)
Some converted values (hex - decimal):
23 - 35 (with 100Mhz CPU Base clock = 3.5Ghz)
27 - 39 (with 100Mhz CPU Base clock = 3.9Ghz)
2A - 42 (with 100Mhz CPU Base clock = 4.2Ghz)
2B - 43 (with 100Mhz CPU Base clock = 4.3Ghz)
2C - 44 (with 100Mhz CPU Base clock = 4.4Ghz)

If You would like to use OC, set in BIOS first.
Important note:
Some SMBIOS doesn't work. I use iMac 14,2. Maybe becoming Clover versions increase number of working platforms and stabilize this method.
