any Vcore aficionados in the house? 8)

Ok, so I used AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext via simple permissions change and kextload in terminal: td$ sudo chown -R 0:0 AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext td$ sudo chmod -R 755 AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext td$ sudo kextload AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext...

Two identical fans may be able to be quiet but they will "beat" if running off the same voltage source.. You will hear four sounds when listening to two fans.. the original frequency of each fan (nearly the same).. their sum and, the annoying part.. their *difference* and this will sound like a...

So the people grafting bits of sysdefs together to get proper speedstep or that say macmini sysdefs are superior in this regard are mistaken? I was under the impression that the imac sysdefs don't allow all facets of CPU power management to work. There are people patching other system files that...

I have this issue too with Mavericks 10.9.2 and an SMB share via WDLIVE media player. I think the new SMB is naff. I can't connect to the server component on my mac reliably from anything either so I'm trying to replace it with SAMBA though it has to be command-line managed presently as SMBup...

Perhaps we could add some questions then: 5. Does anyone see their Vcore change in HW monitor (especially SB people) and if they don't.. where do they see it change? BTW, for me SMC monitor also shows stuck Vcore at 1.069v 6. I see some people looking in IOregistry explorer for CPU states...

I have searched for a week and read many, many posts. There's a lot out there talking about later cpus and using macmini sysdefs - which don't get me to a GUI on my machine (maybe as I'm not using intel graphics but Nvidia). I've read the Mavericks Power management guide but there's not a lot in...

Hello all, I have a Sandy Bridge set-up with i5 2500 on Gigabyte GA-H67MA-D2H-B3 and minimal graphics with nvidia 8400GS. Installation is mostly working using clover as bootloader but I have a remaining power management problem. I am using SSDT generated by the usual script, ssdtPRGen.sh (with...

I have sandy bridge and broken speedstep despite good SSDT and DSDT in Mavericks. Is there any way to fix this these days? I get some CPU steps with macpro3,1 (lots of low ones but not many high and no turbo) and one low one and lots of high ones with iMac 12,2 sysdef along with GPU power...

Might anyone know how I can stop clover scanning USB drives on start-up.. I am sitting at a black screen with single underscore cursor for two minutes prior to GUI and lights flashing on my WD external USB drives. 8( Thank you! p.s. Ah.. while I'm asking.. I can boot windows 7 from...

this seems to be dependent on system definition in combination with clover plist changes on my system. Perhaps someone clever can give us some pointers as to what options combined with that system definitions might cause it. On my system it either hangs or reboots if it gets this error on system...

The bios option "enable USB Storage" or some such causes boot loaders and various things to hang at boot when Western Digital external USB storage is connected. Sometimes probing the drives even causes them to go offline and need to be power cycled. If you disable this option on Gigabyte boards...

No-one got their H67 turbo working? -Which means got H67 boot at default multiplier?

Well this sucks -see below from Gigabyte service! Has anyone got their H67 to boot SB CPU at default multiplier without disabling everything? Can you let me in on what the key is? (I've been trying with 10.7.3 kernel and I no can do) Answer : Dear User, Thank you for your kindly mail and...

I think the problem here is actually that turbo on the GB H67 mainboard is only active at the default multiplier. (this seems to be the case in Windows too according the the Intel Turbo boost monitor that complains that turbo is disabled when I boot with anything other than a 33x multiplier with...

kernel:alternative kernel name doesn't seem to work for me. Says: Can't find kernel name whether it's in the root of the chameleon partition or the partition being booted. [edit] well obviously I'm an idiot and that won't work for anyone.. 8) for some reason I was up way too late and forgot how...

Are you saying that you can't turbo in snow leopard specifically because turbo works fine with H67 in linux or Windows - only overclock via base clock doesn't presently that I'm aware of. Has anyone tried with H67 to report success or failure?

G'day All, I have tried any number of combinations of System Definition, Bios Settings, Chameleon switches and the like (CPUPM kext combos too) and can get speedstep to function but NO turbo for love nor money. My Cinebench CPU gets to 4.79 with 32x multiplier (4.38@29) but no turbo is evident...

Does anyone know if Imac 11, 1 enables speedstep (and or turbo) on i5 2500 or 2500K? Also - Is imac 11, 1 the only sys def that does this that we know? eg Will Mac Pro 5, 1 do such things?

For those that may find this later.. my chameleon (750) has switches for DSDT and SMBIOS and if you simply point them at some non-existent place it seems to ignore the default ones. eg SMBIOS=rubbish would be a valid way to ignore a real smbios.plist that doesn't allow booting that lived in...
