Thank you kgp!
ok, now thing getting more or less clear.
The main issue was that I flashed locked latest bios to MB - 3502
After that I patched it as per guide and tried to reFlash it using hardware button, but still get MSR 0xE2 - locked.
Then I've patched BIOS - 3302 and refresh it. And now I get MSR 0xE2 unlock. And only after that - everything else go more or less fine with the guide. So, there is absolutely NO point of trying to continue CPU management without patched BIOS on ASUS MoBo.
After that, I was able to turn off
xcpm_bootstrap Sierra © Pike R. Alpha and now I have xcpm returns 1
Everything else goes as expected except CPU graphs.
Without EIST I have higher frequencies (saw graph with Geekbech aside) but bad idle, more that 2Ghz
With EIST (and all BIOS setting as per guide) and PMDrvr.kext I have good idles but Lower high frequencies (saw graph with Geekbech aside)
I use iMac17.1 vectors.
There is no flatlines or "hills" at all!
What am I missing guys?
