macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

can change the speed, a 5 minute sample still would not fit in one view
Not the objective. Objective is to let machine settle (Spotlight, virus scans, etc.) for at least 5 minutes, then take screenshot.

That's what I did originally, I did a screenshot after setting up PM and letting it idle, I took a another one as well during the benchmarking, sorry if there was a misunderstanding there. I saw you only posted one screenshot that showed the CPU usage low, going up and then going back down so i assumed it was one screenshot covering all 3 stages. If it makes things less confusing i'll post a new screenshot at idle. thanks again!

Attached is a new screenshot of IPG after letting my computer idle for 5 minutes

I hope I'm moments away for a stable system. Trying to implement PM, hopefully followed all of the instructions (except the IGPU part because I have a RX 570 and I disabled igpu from the bios, thus I followed the Discrete GPU PM guide)

Everything is completely stable except the CPU freq which still operates at ~3.8 ghz. About the logs, I couldn't find DPCIManager/Misc/Boot Log

Thanks

Hello everybody.
I am new to all of this and please be patient with me, I am still trying to learn.
I have been trying to follow the guides posted by Rehabman to install high sierra on my laptop.
The guides are really great but due to my limited knowledge I couldn't comprehend everything.

I think I have two issues with my installation that I know of yet, only one of them is related to the CPU Power Management.
My laptop is an ivy bridge, if I set the system definition to macbook air 5,2 or macbook pro 9,2 the cpu is then stuck at 800Mhz.

But when I change the system definition to macbook air 6,2 the power management works, base clock and turbo speed, I check using HW Monitor.

I googled the macbook air 6,2 and I found that it is a haswell not an ivy bridge.
Did I mess something up in the DSDT?

I attached my files in the post.

Thank you very much.

Try XCPM:
- remove ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml
- config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true (you already have it)
- config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KernelXCPM=true
