What are the requirements to enable HWP by SMBIOS for Pentium? Is the following enough?
  1. SSDT-PR.aml to inject "Plugin Type"
  2. XCPM enabled(two patches needed)
  3. Proper X86 Injector

Try attached files first, it work for Pentium G4400 with SMBIOS MacPro6,1.

It is rather weird, I use your config.plist then HWP and ATI HD5550 not work, I create a new config.plist, copy settings form your config.plist, everything work.

Edit: forget to attached result, I can not find out what problems in your config.plist but it not work, create a new config.plist and copy back settings should work.

Thanks. Be out for a while. I will test it right now and report back.

I can not use the config you provided in #183. Too many customizations for your hack in the config you provided. You said you copy the setting from my config to a new config and HWP works. Would you please provide the newly created copy of my config? The one you said working?

:crazy: That's strange. One thing I note is that you don't need KernelPM patch? If I disable it, kernel panic happens.

Set CFG unlock from BIOS, some mobos need XCPM_idle patch but some mobos not.

Oops. No option for that in BIOS... Right now, I have to go to Clover for HWP :(
