macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

Activity Monitor seems to be reacting a bit better. Anything I should be looking for specifically? Also what could cause Intel Power Gadget to not read properly?

You reported high CPU frequencies.
Since CPU PM will use high pstates only when CPU demand is high, you should check Activity Monitor to see which processes are using CPU cycles.
 
Ahh copy that. Something called mds is hogging huge CPU percentages. No idea what that is though. I will google it up.

mds is the Spotlight search indexer.
Maybe you have a lot of files to churn through.

Your result is what is expected with iMac SMBIOS.
 
Hi RehabMan
On both my builds I am implementing PM as per your https://github.com/RehabMan/Clover, using your pre-built Clover 4120, available here https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/ and these entries in my config.plist file under /Generate/PluginType/true. Nothing else and PM is working much smoother than with the SSDT.aml I used before - gernerated with the ssdtPRGen.sh script. In addition I also OC'ed to 4,4 gigs and additionally managed the voltage/power available to the CPU with a combination of vcore set to normal ( 1.26 v) and DVID + (0.020 V). For this to actually work, EIST as well as C1E enhanced halt, should be on in bios. It is extremely interesting to see how the vcore voltage fluctuates with varying load conditions. At 4.4 gigs the resultant Vcore voltage is never more than 1,284 volts. Previously I determined that for a stable 4.4 gig OC'ed system I require a vcore of 1.275 for the particular CPU I am using.

All this I know is off topic, I just do not know where to post this, as this thread is dealing with PM. I am just wandering whether I should convert the method I use to the one as per this thread, which seems to be the in thing at the moment ? or not !

Your take on this will be highly appreciated.
