I wil try it. Thanks
Hello everybody,
for any of those still interested in a Mac Os X 10.11.6 build using Clover and the Asus Z97I-PLUS mini-ITX Mobo with Haswell processors I will post here the difference in performance BEFORE and AFTER properly configuring CPU power management by creating a custom SSDT with Piker Alpha's ssdtPRGen script for you processor AND configuring in the ASUS Uefi Bios an interesting option: in /AI Tweaker/ set CPU Core Ratio: Sync All Cores.
As you can see from the IPG graphs the processor runs a lot better and also the scores in Cinebench are reflecting this.
Of course with different boards/processor combinations you mileage may vary, but in my opinion it is ALWAYS a plus if you properly configure CPU power management.

Plz help me to check my speedstep is ok ?
Intel Power Gadget isn't reliable. To verify that Native Powermanagement is implemented verify that X86latformPlugin is loaded in ioreg. Recommend running AppleIntelInfo.kext to verify the P & C States. Another thing P & C states are limited to per BIOS settings. Look at post #1 How to Test Power Management.
