For some reason Turbo Boost is not working properly. If I set EIST to Auto or Enabled, it won't go past 3.4GHz, if I disable it, it will throttle from 1.6GHz directly to 3.8GHz, so even if I try to set a higher multiplier, it won't work as I want.

I want it to go from 1.6GHz > 3.4GHz > 3.8GHz. Once the Turbo Boost is working, I intend to set a higher multiplier for Turbo Boost to do a light OC and I hope it all works.

I wonder if this has anything to do with some needed tweak for CPU Power Management, I know that there are some kexts that deals with this area, but from what I read in the description, that's for preventing Kernel Panic and not so much for get Turbo Boost working. I saw an user installing the SandyBridge Core i5/ i7 Overclocked kext and he had the same IvyBridge processor as mine, does it do any good?

Does it make a difference if my System definition is MacPro 3,1 or iMac 13,1?
Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
My turbo boost does not work it did in 10.8.2 everything on auto with ssdt overclocked from multibeast. But now its locked :( on 10.8.3 shows 3.8 on boot but 3.3 in osx

I don't know if this aplies because you have a different processor but besides the BIOS settings, I changed my System Definitions to Mac Pro 3,1 and now it throttles from 16x, 17x, 18x, 19x 20x and the Turbo Boost, I couldn't find a way to have a multipliers in between the lows and the Turbo Boost.
 
Couldn't solve this problem either :( Even after SSDT.aml generated for ivy bridge...


EDIT: Solved after disabling EIST (Intel SpeedStep) in the BIOS.


EDIT 2 : sorry I misunderstood your problem with the 1.6GHz > 3.4GHz > 3.8GHz. I only get the direct throttle too.
