What HiDPI solution are you using ? Do you have problems after sleep when the screen is only on the top left of your screen ? (Like all your UI screen resized to 1/4 of the physical one)
Can I just install MacOS Mojave Security Update 2020-002 ? Do I need to rebuild caches afterwards ? Anything else ? Just want to make sure I don't break anything as my DELL XPS has been running solid.
Only things I've copied locally in /Library/Extensions are:

Any idea ? I see that if I choose Sleep from the apple menu and click to wake it as soon as the screen goes black the PKG goes back to what I see after boot... so there's something about wake not going ok 100% all the time....
Do you see the same on your systems ?
I can see better power management after boot even if Coremin feq is 0.8GHz... after sleep the Coremin is lower but jumps very often between 0.3-0.5 and Coconut battery reports more power draw from the system.
Anyone seeing this as well ? Why would the Coremin change so much ? Also PKG after...
Hi @Richylitschy what is Core min frequency reported in Intel Power Gadget ? I just swapped my NVME for an SSD and I swear it would go down to 0.4 sometimes... now best I saw is 0.7GHz. My PKG power after the SSD swap has gone to ~0.7W when idle.
What SSD model is yours ? NVMe fix is helping a little with general temperature stuff but not so much in overall power.
Also with your settings... can you remind me why formatting to 4k sectors is important ? I left my disk with 512b
Lastly, did you do any undervolting ? Is it worth ?
So basically I've tried different packages and EFI folders from different people on GitHub, I now have stuck with yours.. Power is always hovering around the 1.8-2W mark regardless of the settings. I have lost patience and pulled the NVME out, booted from an external USB drive and power is at...
thanks!! I'll try tomorrow. to be honest with different settings and other CLOVER packages I found for 9360 I get similar results. I suspect it's the NVME not being power managed. Can I ask what NVME do you have or if you have swapped it for a M2 SSD instead ?
0.7W would be lovely. I have used your EFI indeed and also have tried darkvoid but I don't go lower than that. I have a FHD screen without touch and SD card reader has been disabled.
Could it be my NVME(Hynix) Also I still have the killer wifi installed.
Thanks everyone for the help and support so far, I do have a working system just trying to squeeze a little more out of it..
@maxchen @Richylitschy @Coletz What it your watt consumption when idle ? I have try the latest darkvoid repo and Richylitschy config too... but at best I reach 1.70W
and last question for today how many Watts do you get in the intel power gadget...i'm around 2, but I recall my XPS 9343 doing 0.80...
I have a I5 7200 CPU
