macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

[RehabMan]

Thankyou Rehab man! Thats a start for my clarity!
Okay, so in essence, I can completely forget about using ssdtPRGen.sh and just drop the SSDT-XCMP.aml download file into EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched, and the things should be working, correct? I've gone over the guide a dozen times and can't help to think that I'm missing something. Do I disable AppleIntelCpuPM and KernelPM in clover configurator?

No such thing as "AppleIntelCpuPM". I assume you mean "AppleIntelCPUPM" or "AsusAICPUPM" which are equivalent and only apply to Ivy Bridge or earlier.

And no such thing as "KernelPM". I assume you mean "KernelPm", which is required for Haswell and later if CPU MSR 0xE2 is locked.

And yes, no need for ssdtPRgen.sh generated SSDT. You only need SSDT-XCPM.aml and a correct SMBIOS.

Thankyou for the corrections, I now realize how important case sensitivity is. Now that I'm clear on the power settings I have dropped SSDT-XCPM into the proper folder and deleted the generated ssdtPRgen SSDT. After doing so, my Mac keeps rebooting every time I select my Macintosh HD in clover. I tried running in verbose mode, and it seems to start loading properly, then after a bunch of seemingly normal startup messages, the screen just turns off and reboots back to the bios, then to clover again. Any suggestions?

Also, how can I tell if CPU MSR 0xE2 is locked?

Look at your Clover bootlog.
Note:

SPEEDY-NUC:~ rehabman$ bdmesg |grep 0xE2
0:103  0:000  MSR 0xE2 before patch 1E008008
0:103  0:000  MSR 0xE2 is locked, PM patches will be turned on

Where exactly do I find the boot log? EDIT** Nevermind, I found the boot log.

Secondly, the third time around, OS X finally booted with the SSDT-XCPM.aml file. However, I still don't think my Power management is working correctly. Any chance you could take a look at my IOReg, cat AppleIntelInfo.kext log, and screenshot of Intel Power management and let me know what I might be able to do to remedy this situation?

CPU PM is working.

Thank you @RehabMan! You are the best!

I don't think my PM is working properly. Intel Power Gadget shows consistently high Frequencies.

Also here are my clover files.
